This Burgundy was listed at 13% alcohol and was non-filtered. Dark prunish color. Purple fruits on the nose and palate. Very refreshing. Doesn't taste shut down although I was taking a chance that it might be in a dormant phase. Pretty good with my meal of sweet and sour pork and white rice but would probably match better to duck with plum sauce or prunes. Worth the purchase.

Thanks for the notes. Oddly, I did have the 1996 version of this same wine with duck and plum sauce just last week. It was indeed a fine pairing. That wine is still tasting extremely young to my taste, by the way.
