What reviewers say
“It punches well above its weight class. Out of the bottle, it was wild and jammy, but with some air it changed the entire profile of the wine. It was smooth and not as well balanced as a more premium wine, but it is at least knocking on their door.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
