First day opened it was barely passable. Obviously needed a good amount of air time. But in contrast to most wines which improve daily with opening time (stored using the Vacu Vin), this wine hardly achieved even adequate flavor, even on the last day of drinking. Bottom line: I’ve had $7 bottles of wine that were way better. Would not buy it again. Not worth drinking, even if I got the bottles for free.

Best $9 medium-bodied wine I've had in decades. Very good nose too. Outstanding for the money.
