This wine is terrible. This company should pay me 7 euros for even trying this wine. I'm disappointed and borderline shocked by its effort. There's a little bit too much too much residual sugar on this wine, thus rendering me to believe in almost tastes like taking tap water and throwing a sugar cube in it. And that is pretty much the maximum that you can expect from this wine. This is slightly more exciting than taking a bucket of water and drinking it. I'm really disappointed with this wine, but not surprised. Not surprised at all.
