Mike says:
This wine has no taste description on the label from which I can cheat. However it does have a vague repeating depiction of some kind of farm animal. It does not taste like livestock. Mostly it tastes like red wine, with red wine aftertaste. It would pair nicely with red wine. Overall, I rate this wine: "Red Wine."

As you may be able to discern from the photo, the label of Este is covered in lumpy farm animals. Sheep? Cows? It's hard to say. Similarly, it's hard to tell exactly what is going on in my glass. The back label reveals that Este is "The 6 Grapes Wine" and contains Monastrell, Tempranillo, Syrah, Granacha, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot grapes. It is the hot dog of wines, which results in a not displeasing generic flavor that Mike has described as "Red Wine" and which the Spanish apparently only refer to as "Este" (or "This").
