What is amazing is the color of the wine, It is not typical color for Andre, I would argue that there was added deep color varieties like Neronet in the wine. Blending other varieties is permitted to up to 15% without stating it on the label. The taste is predominantly fruity with less of a structure I would expect for Andre. On blind I would guess Merlot from New World, or Neronet, definitely not Andre, which usually has higher tannins, Also the oak is quite invisible.
