A very nice surprise. It may be simple and not very profound, but sometimes simple and enjoyable is perfectly ok. Nice fruity nose. Bright reddish purple in color. Delicious flavors of black cherry, currant, and raspberry. There is just a tiny little whiff of vanilla oak way way in the background but by no means dominant in any way. Some prominent tannins, and very nice acidity. Also, some herbal/savory notes under the fruit. I've had very little Spanish wine. This is one I will buy! 15 points/20
