  The fruit is going, going, ....
  Trying to take down the last couple of these soon. It's a light, unremarkable, but well made and enjoyable Burgundy on its last legs. This one was just the 2nd of four with a cork that extracted in one piece. Not a bad wine at all, but best suited for a weeknight crockpot meal (and I do mean that in the most condescending tone), not the star of a fancy dinner party.

  At 11 yo, an "old burgundy". Slightly browning at the edges, nose is very subtle, but still plenty of tart red fruit with sweet and beautifully long finish, light to medium-light body. Not explosive or complex, but very enjoyable. Have 4 bottles left; plan to drink soon - the fruit is on the downward slope.
  
  And, 2 for 2 so far with crumbling cork. So far, wine is unaffected and no real cork shrinkage or wine seepage. 4 to go, hope my luck holds out.

  Past peak, flavor was flat. Should have been drunk 5 years earlier.

  With all the negative recent notes, i decided to try one which I bought from Haskell's in Minneapolis on sale at $12.50. The wine shows a slightly warmer red color, very light and transparent with a slight sour cherry nose. On the palate the wine ahows cherry note and with a good backbone of tannins. It is a very light wine and needing to be drunk. It is not distinquished but ok as a light red. Pretty even but nothing to grab your throat with. My bottle has no issue with being gone or spoil. Not a bad Thanskgiving wine. The flavor interest and boldness appears to increase a couple of hours after opening.

  Opened for cork check - very dull looking wine, no life, some oxidation apparent. Nose and taste very dull. Not corked but way over the hill. Did not finish the bottle.
