Tasting note:

This wine is a blend of one-third each of garnacha, carinena and cabernet sauvignon grapes. It’s savoury and dark with some cedar notes. Rustic and full-bodied. Very different from your typical fruit-forward wines. Try it if you want something different

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Bright red. Redcurrant, cherry and white pepper on the nose. Sweeter raspberry on the palate, with silky tannins and good mineral lift. Reminds me a lot of pinot noir. Finely etched red fruits linger on the sweet, spicy finish This is pretty seductive, and ready to drink. Score: 90 Source: Josh Raynolds, International Wine Cellar
