March 3, 2019 - I can't believe this is still going strong. The wine is just beautiful. It probably still has a few years of great drinking in it. But sadly, this was my last bottle of it.

January 17, 2018 - Plenty of life left. Not as complex as Alta wines but still a great rioja.

March 20, 2017 - My last bottle. Well, save the best for last. Drinking just beautifully. Certainly, one of the great QPR out there. Prices for the recent vintages have been increasing. This was drunk against the 2010. Interesting comparison how the coconut of the 2010 can morph into the leather and gamy notes of the 2001.

November 20, 2016 - Much better than last bottle from 4 years ago. Good fruit, integrated oak and nice secondary characteristics. Med-full body. Nice long finish. Drinking well now, so sign of decline in this bottle. Good value.
