Day 1: Natural cork. WS 90 caught my attention and reviews on tracker did as well as well as the price. Well this on a pop and pour is average Rioja wine for the price. Oak, spice, charcoal and dark fruits. A touch of sweetness on the finish. While it is not bad not even close to La Rioja Alta Alberdi or Muga Reserva for a few more dollars. 85 points Day 2: Rather boring on day 2 with earth, charcoal, muted fruits and spice. A very disappointing experience given that this was $18.00. 83 points Day 3: Is rather undrinkable. Burnt toast, wood and sweet fruits. Shorter finish. 70 points Recommendation: This is an easy pass for me with all the good stuff out there from Rioja.

Keeps on delivering. Arguably the best QPR I’ve ever purchased

Maybe the best 16.99 wine I’ve ever had. Mature, open, rounded, lovely. Just bought up every bottle I could find in the area.
