Met expectations. Typical low end burgundy from mediocre vintage by a larger negociant. Indeed exceeded those expectations by a fair bit. Dark cherry, earthy wood notes. Raspberry. Palate remains fresh with ample acid and good fruit. However complexity and depth are not there - but I don’t expect them to be at this level. Spot on for what it is.

Quite light, pleasant on the first day with soft cherry notes and soft tannins; second day, even with vacuum sealing, it lost all fruit and became non-descript.

Solid Village Burgundy for everyday drinking, not special, on the light side, but nicely balanced with controlled dark berry fruit and lightly structured tannins, mild acidity

Bought on sale for $15. A good solid wine for that price. Would buy it again for that price.
