Disappointing old fruit flavors which themselves were almost drowned out by a unblended sweetness that reminded me of a simple syrup. No aftertaste, nothing complex.

color: medium-dark purple; nose: earth and oak; taste: nearly-medium-bodied mouth feel, restrained and indistinct fruit taste, slightly vegetal medium-length Old World finish tasting of black pepper; overall: very ordinary -- airplane beverage cart fare which you won't remember tomorrow, not quite ripe enough to qualify as tasty, decent QPR ($9/bottle) -- but better alternatives can be had for the same price.

Such a great value for the money. Leaving the peak drinking window for sure but loved all the bottles.

Very good price/quality ratio - $9 and 90 points. Drinks like a Malbec, fruity, fairly sweet, but balanced and a great finish
