Possibly the worst wine I've ever had. I would drink a lot of substances before a second sip of this catastrophe.

Simple wine, nothing special. Not bad but would not get again. Some of the fruity flavors come through and a smooth finish

Pretty fruit forward, not very complex. Not much for the nose either. With all that it said it was not horrible. Just an average glass of wine.

Not bad for a blend. Better if aerated.

Currants, plums, and slightly bitter tobacco with sticky tannins. Slightly green peppery, with graphite bite. Classic everyday drinking claret.
