Just fine but not great red burgundy. If this is the outcome with other bottles in the cellar, perhaps I should be selling more of my old burgundies 😜
Medium, opaque ruby. Nose of vibrant pie and black cherry. Palate shows some unresolved tannins, and balanced but higher acid. The character of tannin was slightly green/drying, possible stem inclusion?
Paired with grilled steaks and a pretty good match for that. Not as complex as I might have hoped.
