March 8, 2024 - At a great place right now, refined and mellowed but alive tannins, which support a highly balanced structure along w pleasantly soft acidity. The aromas are exemplary aged Rioja, a harmony of primary and tertiary, leather vanilla and dried raisins / prunes. Unfortunately the taste itself does not feel as complex as the aromas, and the finish is medium length. It was delicious with some side snacks and it could go well w any meats but given how the smell shines, I preferred it on its own to fully enjoy. Great qpr and simply delicious. The only problem is that it is a tad bit simple

January 1, 2021 - Hot damn - 2001 Rioja are so good. Could easily be confused for a growth Bordeaux. Definitely more tertiary but a surprising amount of smooth, soft cherry pop from the glass. Drinking well right now.
