A little disappointing, despite the low price. I bought 8 of these 2003 La Testa for $9.95 each... just because the 2000 was so damn good. The 2000 was a little more expensive, but a lot better drinking.
This has promise, a lovely fruity vanilla nose. Just the way I like it. However, on the palate it's a little ordinary. Really nothing special and only faintly reminiscent of it's predecessor. It's spicy and fairly smooth, but just doesn't have anything to write home about.
I'd drink it as a quaffer, but nothing more. Very disappointing after such hype and promise.
