Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Shawn rated this wine as 76/100 with the following review:

No typical tasting notes here. Sure I could tell you about all the other aspects of the body, fruit components, and aromatics of the wine, but instead will tell you when to drink this wine.If those things were really important then you'd likely be reading about another wine. If you want value, in the US offered at under $6 often, this is what I call Tuesday wine. A consistent wine offered at a consistent value. Don't store this one away, instead, crack it and pour!
