Chilled as recommended and tried today as a sipper. DL and JS say it all. In my opinion the makers added too much Splenda.
Not bad as a 'backup' red (after one or two good ones) for a dinner party, but not for the money...not even close.
Interesting that the rating has dropped in 4 consecutive years, almost like sequels to good movies (think Jaws 3).
I will screw the cap back on and try a sip again tomorrow...and maybe the next...I won't finish it today.
UPDATE: Re-tasted; I haven't changed my mind.
