Vino De La Tierra De Castilla 2002.
My brother-in-law stayed at our apartment a few days while we were at the house upstate. He left the above wine.
I am in the city this week on business and so, I opened the wine.
Do not buy this wine if you see it, and if you see my brother-in-law, kick him in his big fat a**.

Not that good, huh?

Probably left it as he didn't like it either. That's what Brother in laws are for...

If that was the same one we had (see Best Buys), I would describe it as unusual rather than bad. Couldn't completely understand the flavors and aromas, but they did not turn us off. It was a cheapee.

IK, it's the same wine. This illustrates what I love about the subjectivity of taste. The only descriptor you posted that I get from the wine is the vanilla, which is the oak. Everything else is muted.
And if this wine includes garnacha, well, I would never have guessed that--in fact, I did not guess it.

Another reason I love the fact my Bro-I-L only drinks Miller Lite. This would probably be his wine of cherce. WW [img]http://wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img]
