Insane value from Spain. Rich fruit, forest floor and mushrooms. Way more grip and presence on the palette than I would expect from a wine this price.

Muy buen vino de mesa. Se parece al Juan Gil. Tiene cuerpo y es avainainillado.

(Monastrell) Smooth and light. Enjoyed it by itself. Paid a premium for the bottle because it was consumed at a bar. Would purchase again, for the listed price, but not worth the price paid at the bar.

Jammy dark fruit, violets, spice, tannins. Can definitely taste the limestone soil's influence here in a good way. Excellent bargain wine.

Very acidic, didn't finish my glass but very nice underneath flavor. It just hits too hard with the spice sensation

A little spicy, easy to drink "every day" wine.
