Purple, overripe plum color, grapey nose. Very smooth, but dry on the palate. Seems little is there, other than some grapey flavors and, maybe, some plum. Medium-weight, medium finish. Decanted 30 minutes. Blend of cencibel and monastrell grapes from Almansa. Alc. 13%. Paid $10 at the local farmer's market. It was perfectly easy to drink, but with so many other far better bottles at that price, I won't buy it again.
