May 15, 2010 - From WineBid for $5, so my expectations were low, and when first opened, this did not exceed that low threshold. Very disjointed and tasting old. However, with a bit of air, this smoothed out, with the fruit showing it still had stuffing. Was it great? No, but it was still a decent drink with dinner.
