Drinking incredibly well after almost 20 years in the bottle. After all these years, this wine still displays fruit with no flaws. The acid has softened a great deal and integrated into a fairly plush bottle that was surprisingly even. I'm not sure how much longer it will live, it may have gracefully past the end of life. Composite cork, easily removed, 20% saturated. Ruby color with minimal oxidation and good clarity. Consumed over two days. Aromas of pomegranate and caramel. Flavors of cranberry, red cherry, rhubarb, and spice with a medium finish. An ordinary Burgundy in an ordinary year. Probably better with some bottle age. No more in the cellar. A surprising surviver !!

Light, fresh, and fruity. Weak with little character when compared to Burgundy Pinot Noirs.

A bit dry and acid when opened buy became smoother as it aired. For the price I need to have some of this as ever an everday wine.

There was nothing wrong with this one, but, nothing to make it notable either. Aroma was weak, with nothing standing out.

Thin, acidic, and unpleasant in the entire. An impulse purchase at Total Wine that I regretted.
