Taste test comments

A summary of comments from our panel of taste testers.
- Tastes mushy and sweet - they managed to make the oregano smell and taste sugary too; this one is terrible; red wine in the sauce is a bit overpowering; perfect for those who like al dente pasta; dried herb smell; very oily but taste isn't too bad and the pasta isn't too overcooked.
