Edit: I'm going to bump this to an 83-- nicer on day two.

If I'm going to drink a not good wine, this is the one I want to drink. It's not offensive or nasty; it's just extremely unexciting and lackluster-- most notably missing out on a backbone to give it structure. Here's what I tasted:

Overwhelmingly nose of sweetened cranberry juice. Ripe strawberry, and some baking spice. Almost smells cooked-- liked desecated red fruit.

Palate: initial reaction is total lack of vibrancy. More over ripe red fruit. Then... Bam. A vanilla bomb. Like someone poured vanilla extract in the wine at the end. Really artificial + disconnected.
