Nose: Cherry jam and gains a little earthiness when it opens. Taste: very bitter with no complexity.

2013 (Spain), from Club W. Garnet colored. Cherry aroma. Light bodied. Dry with lingering tartness. Had with Beef Wellington, garlic mashed potatoes, and wilted winter greens.

Not a heavy, earthy wine. More fruit forward and light than I expected for an old world red. Smooth, but prefer something more leathery and gritty.

Didn't really care for it. Might be ok with the right meal.
