As such I doubt it fits in with the "overrated wines" topic, as I figure that
nobody's ever rated it well. A great pity, as I like monkeys.
Agree totally it was never ever rated, however I was still disappointed!
Even in this low price range, such a variety has the potential to be so much better. Selling for approximately USD$10, there are other wines in the same category that give some or most of the fruitiness and bouquet.
That's the upside - for the price, buy a few different options and if one disapoints, drink the others. ^
Moral of story: beware of some of the inexpensive wines with animal mascots.
