gleam's Review: My husband bought it for me because it was on sale, I wasn't very impressed but not disappointed because of the price. It wasn't that smooth, it sort of had the flavour of port, a little sweet, a hint of prunes or caramel and smoke. It did not have very good balance, it was too acidic. It tasted a lot better after it sat open for a day.
