This is a good table wine with sweet, woodsy aromas of sandalwood, clove, cinnamon and earth. The palate turns a bit to the tangy, sharp side. But in a world with so many overripe heavyweights, this edgy, almost racy blend has the right stuff.

Round and sweet up front, with aromas of candied berries. More alert and red-fruit dominated on the palate, with snappy acidity keeping it well propped up. Finishes with bright acidity and modest tannins. Straight-ahead red wine with crispness.

Light raspberry and strawberry aromas lead into snappy berry flavors. The feel is almost astringent; call it tangy and tight. Juicy but also rubbery. Shows both positives and negatives.

Murky and stewy, and already old for a La Mancha red. Plum and earth flavors are baked, while there is but a modicum of spice and nuance.
