served this one slightly chilled (60F). i got small amounts of berries and grapes up front with some smoke and spice, maybe cloves, on the finish. a tad of metallic and chemical (is that Windex?) in there too. metallic began to overtake other flavors after 45 minutes. guzzle it quick.
not too flavorful or complex and fairly thin but honestly it was a lot better than i was expecting for the $6 we paid for it. i wouldn't have been surprised if it had cost $10-12. would i serve it at a big meal with friends and family? no... but it was nice enough with sharp cheddar and beef barley soup on a coldish fall night. 82, right in the middle of 'good enough'.

Good enough. I always find this bottle to be pleasant drinking. Goes down easy.
