  Reasonable QPR at just over $20, but I would rather pay a few more dlls and drink, say, a Vina Ardanza - a much better wine, especially if aged a decade or so after release. Or I would rather step it up yet another notch and get a Muga Seleccion Especial. This wine works best with food, thanks to its good acidity - refreshing, great for cleansing the palate. But it drinks a little flat - just not terribly interesting. Refreshing acidity, some new oak, and subued if juicy red and black fruit. Doubt additional cellar time would help much.

  This wine is quite nice. Not as lush as some other Riojas that I have had recently, but all in all really very nice. I couldn't tell if it was the spice or tannins that created a bit of a rough edge. In any event, a good mix of fruit with leather and tobacco. IMHO in a few years this wine will be lush and literally mouth coating delicious.
