Tried a small remaining amount, from yesterday's bottle (re-sealed with plastic closure and left out on counter). It had opened-up a bit more, with less tannins, but overall similar notes. Perhaps a bit more flabby. Would give the same rating: 78 (not done to prevent over-influencing score). (Without food and with good company.)

Quite nice and easy drinking, with typical red fruit notes. Some black fruit and notes of spice, perhaps a bit of caramel and coffee. Moderate body and a moderate finish. It's good and easy to like, but not very complex and a bit flabby. Still, it has a very good QPR.

Suspected to contain a substantive amount of histamines. (Consumed with good company, with various Indian foods.)

Surprisingly good for a cheap Kosher wine, especially one that is also Kosher for Passover and despite its also being Mevushal. Light, fizzy, fruity, and quite sweet. More a different beverage, than comparable to a wine, however. Easy to drink, especially at only 5.5% alcohol. A delightful alternative, in these circumstances!
