It looks like a nice bottle if you were lucky enough to know about it while it was under $10. I think I have had the brand, served at a bbq. I looked for it but just found wines like what I had, not what I had and lost interest.
Note the 2014 Falcata Crianza had tasting notes are unlike most I have read:
[QUOTEHeavy oak, asphalt, chocolate and slightly weedy berry aromas open this blend of Garnacha Tintorera, Monastrell and Syrah. In the mouth, rubbery tannins create astringency. Fully oaked, spicy berry flavors include vanilla and clove notes, while an oak-dominated finish tastes creamy and herbal.]
