  Got few potentially flaw bottles from a friend to try where these wines did not store at the desire condition when it was first purchase and it could be more than 5 years. And this is one of them.
  Some tainted smell on the nose along with funky, leather, bret and some hints of plums underneath. Palate is quite undesirable, along with funky, dusty, barnyard, earthy characters and volatile acidity. Taste more like an aged wine of 20-30 years with dried fruits and dirt. It has a bitter finish with strong roasted element.
  It does not taste right and remaining was pour down to the drain.

  This is good cheap wine. Smells strawberry and some cherry and lightly smoky, smells confectionary and tastes confectionary (cheap price, cheap wine). But is very drinkable and good for people with sweet tooth. And somewhat refreshing. Might try again for everyday easy drinking wine. Abit sweet for me!
