  Full bodies. Aromas of spices, faint cherry fruininess. Aromas were not very noticeable even after decanting. Earthy and oakiness. Medium acidity and bitterness. Didn't leave an aftertaste or much of a dry mouth. Great with spicy beef tacos and jalapeno guacamole.

  Served this with 4 other Spanish wines to accompany a Valencian Paella. Couldn't take notes but those in attendance enjoyed it.

  While this bottle is past its prime, there is still enough to like about it. We finished over several nights with shrimp gumbo and over roasted salmon and aspargus. While we have a few bottles left, I intend to seek our a more recent vintage.

  Garnet color; cork was fine: this bottle was throwing some sediment; black raspberries/cherry on the nose; monolithic but pleasant dark cherry on the palate; pleasant tannins on the finish. This brought back fond memories of our visit to Tarragona. Did a nice job paired with a slightly spicy shrimp gumbo on a cold winter night. A real QPR.

  lots of plum and blueberry fruit. Pleasant, easy drinking, but nothing special.
