I consider this more exotic due to origin of Canary Islands. Medium body, light garnet, clear throughout. Bouquet is spicy, flint, hints of floral notes and barnyard. Taste is thinner, smoked meat, pomegranate, under-ripe berry. Only 10% of the Listan Negro grape undergoes 12 months in French Oak, the remainder in concrete. From a combination of 100 y.o. and young ungrafted vines. Would love to visit. At under $20, a great opportunity to visit a location few think of in the wine aisles.

Lovely bar b q wine. Pale, medium bodied not too sophisticated but good slightly chilled with pork. Very good value.

I could not get passed the salami notes on the nose. Fruit was less vibrant than 2 months ago and it sported a touch of a metallic taste.
