10/2019: Every bit the rating of 93. Not sure why other reviews stated less. Inexpensive at $13 bottle. Dark friuts and oak. Very easy but lively drink. First glass as good as last glass 3 days later. Will cellar for couple more years very well. Excellent bottle, worth much more......
12/2020 UPDATE: Left the review last year and allowed my stock to age another year in cellar. This is even better after another year! The Mulberries are really taking center stage and has a dry but somewhat musky sweet flavor. Very easy to drink, very smooth, blackfruits, Plums and a hint of smoke. The 2015 is still available, just bought another case from Redneck Wine Company out of Florida. They only have 10 left and at $12.99 a bottle this is a deal. My cellar is over full or I'd buy the last 10.

Notes of ripe blackberries and cut flowers dominate the nose and palate, with an underpinning of tar leading through the mildly tannic finish. Tasty, despite the lack of finesse.

Lovely berry and spring flower driven nose, unfortunately the result of excessive extraction, which imparts bitterness at the back and finish. This off-putting New World style is a style nonetheless, and the winemaker pulled it off well. Thus the score.

Lightish tempranillo, supple tannins, quite smooth, not the 93 that James Suckling rated it in my opinion, but definitely a good value buy.

A well made and balanced Tempranillo without any faults. Great QPR at $15.
