Saline
Apples?

Med body
Med acid
Very mineral/coppery on palate (edit: this faded quickly)
Has a "flor" flavour - saline and rich
Short finish
Med alc
Tannins?
Not entirely pleasant
Edit: it's not unpleasant either. Acquired taste, and feels a bit old... pour it and enjoy it now.
Ok - upgraded from "I don't like it to neutral"
