A modest and correct Bourgogne Rouge, with no flaws, and not a lot of excitement. Typical acidity and pie cherry fruit. Some toasty oak leans it towards the modern, but only a bit, as it is old school in restraint. It could improve with more time.

Decanted for 20 minutes. Light to medium-bodied wine that is medium ruby in color. On the nose, red fruits and light cloves. On the palate, soft dried cherries. This wine is hollow on the finish, though the finish lasts a decent 15-20 seconds. The structure is pretty soft...too soft for my liking. This one is pleasant enough in its own way, but it is fairly non-descript and not that great a QPR at ~$18.
