Not good, but drinkable. A bit green, but oddly, not in a way that offends me.
The more interesting thing about this wine is that it allowed me to experiment with different preservation methods:
1) a 187ml bottle filled to the top and stored in the fridge for two weeks: lost something, but was still drinkable. tasted like a day 3 wine.
2) a 375ml plastic bottle filled to the top and frozen for 2 weeks kept its flavor pretty well. defrosted sunday, did not drink til monday... can't say with precision how well the flavor was preserved, but certainly to an acceptable enough degree that i'd do it with up to a $20 wine if my schedule called for it.
