The bottle appealed to me, and so I purchased it.
However, when I tasted it, I was very much not enamoured of
it.
It seemed like a ruby colored crayon was added to grape
must and then packaged as a wine. The label is wonderful,
the taste lacking. It tastes like this wine also has either
Cabernet Franc or Merlot blended in (or something less
attractive than either) and for that, it is a big
disappointment.
I can taste the beginning of plums and other dark fruits,
but unless decanting saves its rep, this wine is booty!
