This Bobal-based wine shows Utiel-Requeña's potential, though it is further evidence that the region has a way to go before it is on par with Priorat or Rioja. Blackcurrant, chocolaty flavors are nice and smoldering, but drop off quickly on the finish. The mouthfeel leaves us with a similar “where's the rest?” feeling—admirable flavors, but not enough stuffing. Keep an eye out for this southeastern Spain D.O.—D.M.
