An inexpensive yet excellent bargain for its quality, the 1996 Protocolo, made from 100% Tempranillo, is a pleasant red table wine with a medium ruby color, a spicy, robust, peppery, strawberry and cherry-scented nose, and good fruit. Although one-dimensional, it is soft, round, and pleasing. Drink this serviceable, quaffing red wine slightly chilled over the next 6-12 months.Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates From Spain, Dedham, MA; tel. (617) 461-5767
