Perhaps the vineyard, or bodega or perhaps the vintage. This wine is quite variable. Bottle to bottle is different. This, my last, is slightly maderised and too earthy while absent of fruit and texture let alone balance. Hmmmmm.

90-91: nice Rioja done in a modern style. Spicy oak, ample fruit, decent finish. Savory notes creep in with air - saline and soy aspects - everything in balance. Very good.

Very nice wine and one very good QPR. Lite hit of cherry on introduction. Then it’s “all wine, all the time.” Tannin and acid are apparent, but relatively sedate. I doubt there will be much left of this bottle in a few hours.
