  Drank causally @ teppanyaki. Red fruit on the nose, light to medium body. Clean & clear on color. Palate is sweet & smooth, quite easy to drink. Enjoyable BTL w/good value.

  Matured cherry, light bodied but still fruit there, a bit old, drink now.

  Popped and poured. Very fresh aromas of black cherry, blackberry with some floral hints. If tasted blind, I would have thought this younger. Slightly more mature on palate, but still vibrant. Slightly firm tannins provide a slightly rustic finish. Better with food. A recent purchase from a mixed lot bought at auction, a great deal for around $20.

  Saw a bottle of this at Central Market and picked two up not long ago. Turns out it's a nice little bottle of Burgundy for the $25 price, although it's one that could use a bit more age.
  
  Medium deep color with just a bit of pinking up around the edges. Visually it shows very little age. The nose is nice, if a tad hot and alcoholic. Sort of a crushed berries and flower smell. The palate doesn't quite deliver all the nose promises, but it's very good for it's level. Cherry and raspberry flavors with a good bit of tartness, but plenty of depth. Not particularly elegant, but one typically doesn't expect that in a Bourgogne rouge. Interestingly, it is still somewhat tannic, but has plenty of fruit to hold for a few more years. If I had some of this laid down, I'd check back in a year, expecting to find it still needing another year or two beyond that. I'm not much for points, but I'd guess 86 or 87, with a point or so to gain as it evens out with age.
