Fine, but nothing special. Decent for the price, though there are others around this price point that I'd rather have. Smell and taste is pretty smokey.

Weak. Not unpleasant, but flat and boring. Poor acidity and not all that much flavor. I can think of dozens of bottles in this price range that are better. After a glass, I will debate whether I will finish the rest of the bottle later this week (I didn't, it went down the drain).

Look: Straight forward red wine. Smell: Oddly a bit of a smoky aroma. Feel: Perhaps a bit thin, but not overly alcohol. Later gets very thin and overly alcohol. Taste: Simple red wine. Pleasant. Got harsher after a few minutes. Decanting probably a bad idea. Finish: Very rich. Leaves slight bitterness, but not in a bad way. Summary: A good cheap wine, but don't let it develop with air contact. It can get harsh.
