A friend had this buried in her cellar so we popped it open last night to see what was left. To my suprise it was not way over the hill. While it has seen its better days it still had some life left in it. Soft cherries and a hint of brown sugar.

Medium purple color with pale rim. Medium intensity nose of red fruit, most notably red cherries. Some plum coming through as secondary. Youthful nose. Medium(-) tannin, medium intensity palate with flavors of red cherry, strawberry (with stems). Medium(+) acid shows through, with medium(-) alcohol. Light bodies red. Medium finish with surprising heat. Although there is good fruit character, the heat on the finish somewhat spoils this for me. Should hold for 2 years.

Half bottle cost $8. Good for a Beaujolais. Not too simple like Beaujolais neuveau. Fruitiness adequate.

Light, strawberry. Fun and easy. Can handle a slight chill.
