  March 20, 2021 - Holding up very well. Black cherry, plum and currant on the entry with some light oak and leather on the mid-palate and light dusty tannins on the finish. Great QPR!

  January 10, 2016 - Brought this to our family's annual "Wine Around the World" party and it won WOTN. Granted, the bar was not that high but it still won out over 9 other wines. Classic Rioja Tempranillo flavor profile.
  Smooth, easy drinking with light oak and no tannins to speak of. Fruit forward but not a fruit bomb. Simple but enjoyable. Seems to be in its peak drinking window right now.
