Good … but a LOT of baking spice, literally almost tastes like mulled wine. Too much I think, I prefer a little more chocolatey tannin and fruit in my Rioja. — 2 days ago

Very tropical. Some peach. A little bitter. Tastes like a gewurz with bubbles (though I’ve not had one of those in a while). It’s fine, but I think the cheaper TJ cans are a better value for the small serving sparkling need. — a month ago
