Robert Vic

This wine is one that came onto the table at the end of an evening of good wine, so those wines generally have a reputation for not being as good as certain other wines. After having about a bottle of wine inside, you don't want to open up one in which your tongue needs to be able to discern between the subtleties of flavor, and your brain needs to be razor sharp in order to place the origin of the wine. (Come to think of it, this never happens anyway, but the point is, don't waste good wine when you're already drunkish).

Anyway, this is sort of a mild wine, both in smell and taste. Relatively fruity, but easily drinkable, so it functions well for its purpose. Having this three-liter hand-bag of wine will not let you down, and is good for all sorts of cooking with wine, regardless if you need it in the food or not.

All in all, not the best wine, but it certainly receives a 7/10.
