I wasn't expecting much, not expensive & description sounded too fruity for my taste. took it traveling (since it had a screw top). Pleasantly surprised!! Dry w lovely finish, and the 'bright fruit' description does mean that, as opposed to code for too sweet. I'll definitely look for it again

Nice rich smell. Clear rose color. Little burgandy brown. Smell is nice no burn. Smooth and balanced all the way through. Enjoyable flavor

Let it breathe for a half hour. Didn't like this at all first sip but got better with time. I think.
