On first opening seemed thin, harsh, and a bit vegetal. Accidentally left it open on the counter and that turned out to be the best thing for it. Trying it the second night, it had really softened up and integrated. The flavor profile did seem a bit atypical for Burgundy though. It had some tar and floral notes, making it somewhat reminiscent of a low end Nebbiolo.

Not sure exactly what to rate other than 'Low'. I have found K&L to be a poor source for Burgundy recommendations. This wine has a very subtle nose of tar, wine was thin, harsh, and overall not pleasing.

I doubt if this was ever any good, but it is near undrinkable now.

I found this perfectly pleasant, if nothing special. It had a subtle perfume and a pleasant berry flavor. It was a tiny bit on the tart and sour side.
