A good red. Cheap as chips, but I don't think you will be ashamed you served this!
It's a clear, bright, medium to deep colored violet wine. The first thing noted is perhaps a light astringency, not overpowering, but enough to notice. There is are berry/blackberry notes to this one with some well modulated tannins (not a harsh taste in the house). It has a clean finish and good balance. What it lacks in complexity is more than made up for in it's smoothness. Thanks to it's moderate astringency, a rare one good for both sipping alone or as a companion to a nice dinner.
Be she young, old, or in the middle, this is a winner. It's not so complex as to chase away the young, while being interesting enough to hold the attention of the most jaded goddess. Drink often and deeply and let it's subtleties aid your lechery!

And one of the few wines where the bottle blurb matches reality.

Bottle Blurb:
From the seemingly exotic climate and unique soil of the Jumilla region comes a wine bursting with rich fruit flavors and luscious aromas of sweet and exotic spices. The deep violet color and long, well balanced tannins add to the enjoyment of the wine. Despite its name you can't go wrong with Wrongo Dongo. The wine has plenty of stuffing to hold its own with the heartiest of roasts, steaks, and barbeque, yet the forward fruit flavors lends the wine to lighter dishes as well as simply enjoying it on its own with friends, Dongo to the party without it!
