Pasamonte Rebel.lia 2008

Spain. Was offered this - think the grape was garnacha. At first glance, the traditionalist in me was already v sceptical w the upside-down funky label. The colour looked surpisingly aged for 2008, or maybe it's the grape. First whiff was greeted by obvious funk I find common in Spanish and Chateauaneuf wines, dislikable. But the palate was not as bad, q rounded w a bit of spice, but overwhemling astringency kicks in at the end. No go - As the label says, I'm rebeling against this (6.7/10).
