I had the oddest experience with this wine - probably the ultimate worst food pairing. Upon pouring my glass the nose was delicately fragrant, the first taste confirmed a subtle wine, but as soon as I started eating (tomato and cucumber salad with chunks of feta, basil, plenty of olive oil and a touch of white balsam vinegar) - wham, all I found in my glass a franken-wine that tasted like diesel fuel. Next day it was back to its pleasant side.

Opened this on Tuesday evening. Still holding up well on Friday. Great value.

Still a great bargain. Paired well with a turkey-vegtable-tomato soup on the first night and a honey-balsamic glazed salmon on the second night.

Violet colored, light with complexity and a long finish. Superb value for this price via Groupon.
