  Holding up very well. Black cherry, plum and currant on the entry with some light oak and leather on the mid-palate and light dusty tannins on the finish. Great QPR!

  Brought this to our family's annual "Wine Around the World" party and it won WOTN. Granted, the bar was not that high but it still won out over 9 other wines. Classic Rioja Tempranillo flavor profile.
  Smooth, easy drinking with light oak and no tannins to speak of. Fruit forward but not a fruit bomb. Simple but enjoyable. Seems to be in its peak drinking window right now.

  It's getting better. Seems a little more balanced and integrated.

  J'ai eu beaucoup plus de plaisir avec cette bouteille ... Comme quoi le vieillissement peut être inégal ...
