8.0

Not a great vino nobile. Good nose, but thin and uninteresting. Also has a little funk to it. Would rather spend the money on a wine maker brand. 17.99 at K&L. Would not get again. — 5 days ago

Fills the entire palate. Full bodied. Earthy and herby at first. Dry finish. Babs says bitter. After one night it got fruity for me and a little hot. Not amazing like the reviews. Not sure I’d get it again. Got at auction. — 20 days ago

Liked previous versions from the wine maker. But don’t know why. Thin and acidic with a very dry finish. Babs didn’t like it at all. I grew to like it. But it’s an acquired taste. Spicy and hot. 10.99 at K&L would not get again. — 5 days ago

Ok by it self. Would not get to make Aperol Spritz. Has a sugary syrupy aftertaste. Too sweet. 7.99 at Costco. Not worth it. — 20 days ago

Thin and under stated. Maybe it didn’t age well or just not to our taste. I do like Moulin à Vent, but just not this one. Currants, rather acidic. And just not much flavor at all. Maybe the 2nd bottle will show some signs of life. Got it at auction. Won’t get again. — a month ago

Herbal aromas, vanilla, and on the second day plummy. A little spicy. Was ok for our taste. Didn’t love it but also very interesting. Got it at auction, not sure if we would get again. — a month ago
