  375mL. Light ruby; aromatic but comes across as showing quite a bit of heat, almost a bit porty though that moderates with air, a bit of cinnamon and red fruit but more in the background; palate is light bodied, medium acidity, relatively flavorless through the midpalate; finish is medium-minus length. I've drank through a few of these halves over the past ~5 years and it seems like these are declining (losing fruit without much replacing it) and not just in a shut down phase. 84

  From 375mL. Same as previous bottles, youthful red fruit but with excellent balance and a great everyday drinker. 86

  From 375mL. Light ruby, moderately aromatic nose with red fruits, not much complexity but well balanced; palate is light bodied, integrated light tannins, medium acidity, red fruited, lacks a bit of depth through the midpalate; finish is medium-minus length. Similar to my last bottles, with perhaps a bit better integrated alcohol. An excellent value and everyday burgundy, but I still don't think this will improve much from here. 87

  375mL. Light ruby, youthful color for 15 years of age; medium intensity aromatics with pretty red fruit, slight cinnamon and sweet spice, elegant but with depth; palate is light bodied, high acidity which is a bit sharp when the bottle is first opened, medium alcohol (14% on label, shows just a touch but not badly), fruit is minimal and fades through the midpalate; finish is short-plus. Nose seems more improved than my last bottle 2 years ago and is now quite nice, palate seems entry level but perfectly serviceable for a nice lunch. I don't see any advantage to aging these much further. 87

  From a 375, cork surprisingly soaked 1/2 way through. Light ruby, clear; moderately aromatic, high toned red fruits, cherry; palate is light bodied, low tannin, medium-plus acidity, red fruit, slight minerality on the midpalate; medium finish. This is a balanced red burgundy, seems at a transition between youth and middle age, enjoyable but without much exceptional character. Drink my remaining halves over a decade, but no rush. 86
