Dark crimson color, with a lighter rim. Old world funk! Tobacco, currants, graphite, cedar, and a hint of mushroom on the nose. Tastes of blackberries, oak, cassis, currants and sour cherries. This is full bodied, with fine, grainy tannins, flowing smoothly across the palate to a nice, lengthy finish. A nice balance of fruit and acidity, this is sweet and savory. Great QPR. Well done!

Crianza Rioja at it's peak now, and showing some nice maturity. Intense flavours of slightly over ripe dark fruits, orange zest, vanilla, blackberries, smoked meat, with a slight oxiditive nutty/caramel flavour on the medium length finish. Well integrated tannins. Overall really enjoyable wine, offering fantastic value across the Urbina range.

Aromas of chocolate, wet wood, moss, marshmallow, and prune. Juicy savory flavours come rushing to the tongue. Orange zest, tomato, pomegranate, saline, vanilla, and white pepper. Some chalky tannins with high acidity.

Cherry, tomatoes, leather, black pepper/spices on the nose. Savory palate mirroring the nose. Hints of sage on palate too. Nice acidity, and medium long savory finish. Paired eggplant parmesan (marcella Hazan's recipe) -- wish I could relive this meal again!

Cherry, plum, cloves, cedar, leather, earthy mushrooms. I feel this is a bit over the hill, and would reommend to drink up.
