  March 9, 2022 - Still very young and showing not that expressive. Could be ten years junior bottle. If it was an 80’s vintage it would be perfect.

  April 4, 2020 - Well integrated. Suits my taste of loving dirt while still showing fading fruit. Great QPR.

  Taste: nice acidity and balance, enjoyed it but wasn't taking a lot of notes that night. +

  April 2, 2017 - At Tertulia, it's all about the mushrooms. A low-key, smooth and fully mature Rioja with some agreeable vegetable flavors but mostly mushroom. Later some pleasant tar notes emerge. Nothing mind bending or but a nice mature Tempranillo experience that married well with tapas.

  Slight hint of acidity to start, but it went away. Just gorgeous, light, elegant, smooth, long, balanced. Very compelling. Went beautifully with flounder.
  2nd bottle, summer 2016:
  IIRC fine but not so great. Both bottles were bought at the same restaurant.
