I was browsing around a local shop when I came upon a bottle of the
1995 Roux Pere & Fils Chambolle-Musigny for $15.00 (The original price sticker was $31.99USD). They had four bottles so I bought them all and the shop owner sweetened the deal by giving me the fourth bottle for free...which is exactly what the wine is worth. I understand that Roux is a bulk producer selling in specialized bulk markets but this wine was horrible. Very pale red in the glass and there were no visable signs of aging or oxidation. There was virtually no nose. The flavor could best be described as unsweetend diluted cherry Kool- Aid and I mean really diluted....imagine filling a glass with ice, pouring in some unsweetened cherry Kool-Aid, letting the ice totally melt then drinking the faintly pink slightly sour cherry flavored beverage. For those of you who might not know what Kool-AId is, it's a dry powdered children's drink mix that is added to water. The wine is too bad to even rate.- posted
