This awkward red is exuberant with grapey fruit, but lacks balance and subtlety. A bit of spritz adds to the confusion. 15,000 cases made.??–TM??Region: Spain / Almansa Select to Add

This wine has been a frequent entry in my Best Buy reports. Their 1987 is a plump, chunky wine with loads of fruit, glycerin, and heady alcohol in the finish. It exhibits fine purity, a fragrant, spicy, berry-scented nose, and attractive length. It should continue to drink nicely for 1-3 years. Importer: Beacon Wine Co., Inc., Chestnut Hill, MA.
