I get the feeling I'll be enjoying most of the spicy reds on offer in Spain and @ €3 with 89 points from some Parker bloke, we are set.

Pretty dark garnet with opaque ruby rim. Invasive nose of Charleston Chew and raspberry and blackberry liquour. Enters the palate somewhat shy. It opens up but this wine is a little hollow. Seems a little watered down, even. Meaningless flavors appear first. I want to say cardboard, but the wine is not corked. Couldn't be, as the enclosure is synthetic cork. The wine comes alive again in the third quarter with some sour cherry acidity. Ironically, this wine has pretty good length, thus also an appreciable finish. Maybe that is why Parker gave it 89, but all this structure is not showing you much fruit. It's unbalanced. Some coffee bean and spices show with the finish. From me 84 pts.

2013, a little subtle, I agree that the wine opens up toward the finish. A little oak at the start. For the price point i like it with antipasto, pasta, turkey, it’s not an event wine. More of a casual table wine.

Jammy, fruity, not overly long. Surprisingly acidic.
