Popped the bottle tonight. Not my favorite. Alcohol is a bit too harsh for my liking and lingers around a little too much for me after swallowing. Perhaps with a pairing it might negate this though. (Hence the reason for the 7.5) I think had I had a nice medium rare beef tenderloin or ribeye to match it with it might have come across better. The cheap price and my lack of pairing is why I'm giving this a 7.5 and not lower. By its self though I can't drink it.

Not bad for how cheap it is. Not too bitter or dry. Has a bit of a funny taste, maybe vinegary or something. But overall pretty smooth and nice.
