what was the last wine...

[Thomas]

Drew has hit on the right spot--too much bigness (over the top) and too little finesse, but I find this trait goes beyond wine; it permeates dining practices, entertainment, the arts, you name it.

As regards wine, Spanish or otherwise: there are literally hundreds of thousands of wines out there, it is foolish to indict a complete segment for suffering disappointment from a few within the segment. Just keep trying as many as you can; you will be rewarded by a lot of them, and you will be disappointed by some, but you will definitely have a good time all in all.
