The wine is simply not very good. I told the clerk not to order any
more of it. He said someone really liked it and ordered a case. What
can I say? I'm sure I didn't get a 'bad' bottle, because I have had
bad bottles before. This wine simply didn't have much flavor, despite
its intense color. Bad bottles taste 'off', and this wine didn't tatse
off.
