Tasting:

She said: My first impression is that this wine tastes like it is cheap so I had to ask myself why? Little aroma, heavy sweet sort of mouth feel that kills the pleasant tannins, especially in the finish. It’s not harsh but it is one dimensional and lacks nuances of flavors usually found in Spanish red wine. Although under $15, I think you can do better with other Spanish reds at that price point so I don’t recommend it.
