  Vegemite and olives. Not surprisingly went better with food than without.

  violet reflexes. nose: blackberries; generally pure ripe fruit. taste: quite elegant; thin structure; delicate cocoa - opaque but mild. Interesting Rioja - not mainstream taste.

  I had this with Vina Marro Vendimmia Seleccionada Rioja Tinto DOCa
  
  - fresh looking dark red, clear colour, not a lot of fine particles
  - Rather fruitful nose, dark cherries, a bit Burgundian (sorry for such a damn generalization)
  - Still some tannins, very dense for this price range (approx. 7 Euros), no oak influence (4-6 months in stainless and cement), fruitful (dark cherries), very lively and gentle acid, a bit smoke, a bit herbs (thyme?) – very nice example of a gentle, not too simple Tempranillo (+ a bit Graciano and Granacha). Against most opinions: nice Tempranillo based wines do not really need oak. Great QPR!
  
  No winner. Very beautiful and reasonable Riojas, however their style is very different!
