  Still deep ruby. Some green herb and dark fruit aromas. Medium weight with real chocolaty richness. Black cherry and blackberry infused with soil. Great acidity, substantial tannins, and the flavor of ground coffee at the end. This is outstanding but still nowhere near fully mature. The last bottle of this had all of the material but was marred by brett whereas this was completely clean. Immensely impressive.

  Super fresh, bit of So2 at opening but blows off after air. Still a long life ahead, Weygandt import.

  I enjoyed this quite a bit. Tannins softened after the 2nf day, with everything else in balance.

  I opened this bottle based on recent reviews of flawed or oxidized bottles from too much age.
  
  However, that was not the case with this bottle as it was quite delicious. The nose was faint forest berry fruit with lots of herbaceous funk, iron, and faint menthol.
  In the mouth, the texture was divine as the tannin is fully resolved leaving a silky sensation as it glides across the palate. Wild strawberry and subtle raspberry and cranberry are generous up front and enlivened by decent acidity before iron, iodine, and other earthly flavors mingle with the decaying fruit on the long finish.
  
  As often happens with good cru Bojo, it evolves into a wine very reminiscent of cru level Burgundy in both weight and flavors. This bottle did not disappoint in that regard.
  
  Overall, I think I opened this bottle right at the perfect time for me as it is still young and fruity, but has now developed some of that funk. I think well-stored bottles that are not inherently flawed should make it close to 2030.

  Waited too long to enjoy - fruit was baked but you could smell / taste the underlying strawberry / tart cherry notes. Last had in 2016 and thought this would easily go 4-5 more years. Guess I was wrong. Bottle was not flawed as much as fruit dried out - also had a touch of volatile acidity on palate. NR. Looks like my experience was consistent with prior 2 taster.
