November 13, 2021 - Cork was a little soft but the wine surprised me. Medium maroon with orange around the rim. These need to consumed soon in my opinion. Leather on the nose. Black cherry and tart cherry with savory notes on the palate. I picked up a trace of green bell pepper too. Still an enjoyable drink on a cold gloomy autumn evening.

August 1, 2021 - Definitely dead and well past any enjoyment level. I shared it with 3 others who all made bad faces and poured it out.

April 24, 2021 - Fully mature Rioja, maybe a few years past its peak, but still beautiful and will go until maybe 2025. Didn't need a long decant. One hour was sufficient. Gorgeous red/brown colour. What a treat to drink a 25-year-old wine for under $50! Fantastic QPR.
