2007 Qupé Syrah
7/11/2009 - Luvgrapesqueezings wrote: 87 Points
Nice color- youthful, dark and clear. Nose shows pepper, subtle peach with black fruit, subtle red fruit and spice. The alcohol wants to peak through the nose. On the palate, it shows, black fruits, subtle red fruit, some game and pepper and tinges of tar. Dark and bright fruits make a nice showing on a pretty good finish. Good QPR for a wine priced in the mid-teens. Although it has ripe tannins, I'd like to try it again later next winter or spring to see if it develops some more complexity.

2008 Bodegas San Alejandro Calatayud Rosado Las Rocas
7/1/2009 - Luvgrapesqueezings wrote: 88 Points
Bright color of medium full concentration. Nose shows raspberries and watermelon rind. On the palate, it offers a strawberry, raspberry and watermelon rind flavor core. Good balance, tasty, fresh and dry with a pretty good finish. Although it is a fairly well-made wine that doesn't have the complexity and nuance of a 90pt wine, it is a good rose for the price. I'd like to try this with a shrimp stir-fry. Yummy flavors, not very complex, balanced with a good finish.

1996 Martin Cendoya Rioja Reserva
2/9/2009 - Luvgrapesqueezings wrote: 87 Points
Price: $19.99 regular $15.99 sale price
13% ABV
Color: Dark garnet of medium concentration showing pink/clear edges- very healthy appearance, clear.
Nose: Vanilla, cherries, a little cigar box and raspberries
Palate: Vanilla with a little cedar well integrated with cherries, raspberries and a little dark fruit with tobacco. The vanilla and fruit flavors follow up on the back-end for a okay finish. Nice medium body, and balance. I'm surprised with how much of a vanilla character this wine is showing at its age.
