Solid red blend. But sold as full bodied, which it is not. Light drinking. Suitably dry. — a month ago

A perfectly drinkable red. Not pricey, but can find similar for less. Would expect something like this from a house wine at a Portuguese restaurant. — 9 months ago

Fine. The perturbingly thick and heavy bottle is at a level of pretension not warranted by the body of the wine. — a year ago

6.5

Absolutely foul.

I don’t have direct knowledge but my best estimate is it holds an aftertaste of battery acid.

Possibly off but I also assume it’s just an undrinkable low cost wine. If it’s not off it should have been sewered, not bottled.
