Marques de Colbert Utiel-Requena Reserva 2017

Garnet/cranberry hue with lovely aromas wafting above the rim as I sit at my computer. There's almost a candy like quality of the bouquet, filled with cherry, red berry, and just a twist of spice on the end.

Palate--Lively structure with an acidic beam mid palate with a bungle of fruit/spice/ash all jumbled together in the mouth. It needs to breath and I believe it will open up. Indeed it did.

This previously reviewed quaff (February) is comprised of 50% Bobal grape and 50% Tempranillo, the signature grape of Spain.  Now here is the get a grip factor: I paid $6 for this at Trader Joe's and it is a crazy value!  Raise a glass!
