Had over a few nights and it never developed into anything but average modern-styled wine with just a bit of varietal character. Seemed like it got hit with some oak chips alongside some fortification. It was good, but never interesting. Far from the salesman's pitch that it is "wine is great". Decent to bring to a BBQ and it'd pair well with that kind of fare.

This was an extremely nice bottle, surprised the heck out of me. New worked in style, yet some refinement. Good balance, lots of dark fruits, but not heavy. Good finish. Fantastic taste.

Tastes like Ribena. Dark, sweet, berry juice. The ~16% alcohol is evident, the sole reminder that this has actually undergone fermentation.

Quite fruity without much tannic structure or acidity to balance.
