Nothing about this drink is bad... but there's nothing compelling about it either. The wine notes are not heavy enough to warrant the red cask tag on it's label. The tasting notes of leather and brown sugar are clear. I'm glad I tried it but I wish I would have tried it at a bar first before purchasing a bottle. I would never turn it away but i don't anticipate purchasing a second bottle. The rating of 90 is probably a few points too high. Good not great.
