Is Red Blend a good wine?
What reviewers say
“E: Opened after 5 years old. It needs to breath for a while. Even in the bottle. That frequent earthy nose from southern new world wines. Also fresh red fruits and leathery notes. On the following day it is more integrated, firm tannins and without edges.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
