Just plain awful. Smelled corked when I opened. Waited 30 minutes and then tasted. Tasted like corked, carbonated juice and poured down drain. Opened second bottle a few days later and not corked but still poured it out after one glass. It's carbonated and awful wine. Not sure what to do with last two bottles I purchased....won't even take to a bad party.

For the first hour or so, unpleasantly like Coca Cola (carbonated, cola, terrible). After the carbonation leaves, it has a cola and dark berry flavor. Not bad (but there are better values for $11/bottle).

Heavily reduced. Smells pretty terrible...so much so, I don't particularly want to taste it...but palate is better: a mix of blue and black fruit with some licorice freshness on the finish. Eager to impress but lacks focus (to quote one of my early school reports).

Disappointing. Very tannic at the moment, with dense but characterless fruits. The finish tastes exactly like bacon frazzles (imitation bacon flavoured chips). Or smokey bacon pot noodle, either one. Definitely a miss.

Definitely cola / carbonated beverage at the beginning, but with 30 minutes it settled and was very interesting. Cola, bark, then blueberries and dark fruits.
