  April 12, 2022 - Solid Rioja. Dark fruit, good mouthfeel. Brief decant opened it up. Not sure it is quite a Gran Riserva quality - but nice nonetheless. Solid QPR

  December 20, 2021 - Medium Weight. Smooth muted dark fruit. Perfectly fine bottle of wine, but thin for a Gran Reserva.

  October 19, 2021 - Absolutely fantastic and great QPR. Just started drinking and will go on for a while. Needs decanting. Minimum 5 hours. Fabulously long finish. I have ran out and trying to source some more. Much better than the very good 2011 Gran Reserva.

  October 10, 2021 - I wouldn’t exactly say I didn’t like it but there are other Rioja I would prefer. I did appreciate how the fruit leapt out of the glass. Along with it though was heavy heavy oak. Rioja and oak, yes I know, but there can sometimes be too much. On the palate it translated to reminiscences of my father’s pipe and vanilla.

  September 21, 2021 - First night I drank w a couple hour decant and paired with paella. A great match and very smooth (hence the 90pt rating). Second night I drank the remaining 1/2 bottle and it was OK but definitely a step down from night one. So it leads me to think this is ready now.
