this medium-to full-bodied red from spain's southeast sports a potent, inviting nose. black plum, soy, leather and oak merge in an appealing, inky opening. the black cherry flavors are quite dry, but also rich and palate-coating. finishes with substantial tannins. the wine should drink even better in one or two years, but should pair well with hearty fare even now. best buy. —m.m.
