Perfect to drink during the week with your average dinner.

Nothing special, just regular table wine.

If there were a competition for the sub-region with the best values in the world, Spain's Yecla would have to be a candidate, and this astounding value doesn't disappoint, with inviting notes of violet, dark fruit, tobacco, leather, spice, and, emerging later, sweet strawberry and even licorice, though there's not as much going on deeper down, and it's a bit flat, if still rich, on the palette, ending with some bitterness amid the sudden dryness; overall, somewhat out of balance, with firm tannins but not quite enough fruit to stand up to aging, but it's still fairly lively and interesting.
