Starting to hit its later stage of life (much like the drinker!). Drank this with roast chicken, manchego, baguette.
Nice color, a little thin on the edges, not brown so much as orange-ish on the edges. Still a nice fruit nose, with a touch of dirt, but not as strong as the last (that I recall). Nice on the palate, but again, not strong or overwhelming. If I didn't know better (a 7 year old Premier Cru Cotes du Beaune) I would say this is entering a dumb faze. Not possible, right? Oh what a difference a year makes (see 11/28/08 review).

Drank this homemade chicken noodle soup, warm bread and tallegio. As I have pointed out previously, this is a very nice, light wine. Not a ton of body here, but a very nice food wine; lots of berries, a touch of tannin, nice acidity. Maybe the best $25 wine I have ever bought.

Wonderful last (oh no) bottle of this very affordable premiere cru burgundy. No judgement, just enjoyment.

Light ruby color, nice barnyard-y nose, clear taste on the tongue, excellent food wine.
