Not the best example I've had, and needs time it's safe to say. If you have this, hold it and see how it does in 5-10 years

Sort of sweet, different than expected. unlike other wines in this category. I need to drink more of this to see if I really like it, or is it just a curiosity.

Excellent. Great nose, fine balance in the mouth - ready to drink but with lots of life. Drink or hold (for years...)
Served with roast pork and it was perfect.

Still needs time. Tannins are not as rounded as I expected, but not harsh. Flavors should improve as they keep evolving. Hold another 4-5 years and try again.

REmarkably good. Nearly perfect for my taste. I had this in my cellar 20 years waiting for a good time to have it... I wish I had more....

Excellent, great value but regardless of vintage or price, this wine is in a sweet spot now and drinks like a more expensive Sauternes. Drink or hold.

Drier than I like and sharper, more sherry like - so not to my precise taste, but the wine is a good example of what it should be. Fair QPR.

I didn't find the complexity the others here did... But it's tasty, a very big wine (like a Zinfandel from Ridge) and has fair balance. At $28 it was a good QPR. I'd hold it a little longer as it has plenty of fruit and the tannins are not fully tamed.

Showing mostly tannins right now. BAsed on lack of fruit I'd say hold it a year and then drink. Not sure it's going to last much longer than that... and Not sure if it will get better or not.

Excellent. Popped and poured, consumed over 3 nights. refrigerator temp to start. Reminds me of a very good Chablis, but with some hints of oak. Maybe a light Meursault. Lemon citrus and maybe green apple nose. Austere palate at first, but then lots of mineral and pure fruit. Seems to evaporate on the tongue - coming across as painfully dry... Certainly improves with breathing and a little warming. Great balance and long finish. Drink or hold.

Slightly sweet, like a Spaetlese perhaps. Distinctive flavors unlike normal Chenin Blanc, not like other wines I'm familiar with. It has nearly as much complexity as a good D'Yqem. Much lighter in body and with enough acid to do well with a savory dessert. I'd not pair it with a super sweet dessert however. Drink or hold.

Dark red, just starting to fade at the edges. wood in the nose, old oak and cedar; leather and dried black fruits.
As it opened up the nose refined, and the palate showed firm body, crisp and full flavors. Youthful somehow. Medium long finish. Typical of a very good Rioja GR. highly recommended. Served with flat iron steak and pesto on bread. Drink or hold.
