It was ok... Tasted like a whole lot of others and not unique.

For $8 it was OK, but not remarkable in any way.

Smells plummy. Taste is jammy, plummy with a bit of oak spice. This would be rated higher, but the taste disappears really fast. Nothing lingers. Have to keep drinking to keep the taste in your mouth. Which I guess isn't a terrible thing.
