Flavor: a slightly acidic burst of cherries and red fruits, followed by a musty, slighty moldy secondary flavor. Mild tannins and some vegetative flavors hinting of bell peppers and maybe hay.
Overall: this is a weak wine with a musty, almost moldy flavor that lingers in the mouth and takes it dangerously close to a 1 star rating. But it barely hangs onto a 2 star.
