  Tasted after 1 hour of air. Medium ruby color. The cherry fruit here is very sweet. It comes across as balanced though due to the firm tannins and medium plus acidity. Not a typical Tempranillo. Some spice. This tastes more like a Syrah than a tempranillo. A lousy QPR. You can get cheap Rioja that is far better than this.

  Quick decant. Dry black plum with tobacco leaf, dust, and oak on the nose. Flat black fruit and plum palate coats the tongue but doesn't deliver much else than clay. Black olive brine builds on the finish, adding salinity and acidity before finishing with wet oak. Served with food but didn't find it enjoyable to drink. At minimum, give it a longer decant.
