Taste: 5/5Value: 5/5
“Absolutely spectacular! Visited a local outlet in Andheri and picked up Martell V.S.O.P. Red Barrel. At ₹8,400 in Mumbai, this represents incredible value. The notes of Rich apricot and peach and Toasted almonds pair phenomenally well with home-cooked Mutton Kheema Pav. Highly recommended!”
