  March 23, 2024 - Sour cherry, blackberry, some leather and tobacco notes. Light finish that doesn't linger too long. Overall an enjoyable Rioja and good QPR @ $24

  September 29, 2023 - Quite nice. Very leathery, with lots of dried fruit--plum (I guess prune?), cherry, maybe something clustery (blackberry?). A lingering cigar room flavor, like a piece of furniture that's been smoked in front of too often. At the age I drank it, it was plenty alcoholic, and almost sweetened.

  May 29, 2023 - Predominately granacha, more than Tempranillo, and held beyond the minimum to qualify for “reserva.” This really shows the positive effects of its aging and presents with a beautiful deep ruby color. Nose of black cherry, tamarillo, and boysenberry. On the palate you can taste the vanilla of American oak but it’s all richly bound together. Excellent.

  September 10, 2022 - Translucent red, leathery and peppery nose, medium-bodied and slightly tannic even 10 years old! Yet the finish is still fresh and puckery, and it is completely clear. Tasted next to a Cubillo (Lopez Heredia, same vintage) and compares very favorably. A touch sweeter
