Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of 90min. The 2016 Reserva pours a deep purple with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with fabulous notes of ripe and dried, black and red cherries, Fig Newtons, dill, toasted coconut, leather, anise, old wood, dry earth and spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, Hermanos de Peciña Reserva is one of the great wine values in the world. Drink now through 2046. — 20 days ago

The somewhat older vintages have such a great pqr.
They age gracefully, fruit, sweet ripe fruit, length, some leather yet still very fresh. — 2 months ago

Bashful nose, I smell some florals and woodsy stuff. Big flavors! Lush and dark, but light weight in the mouth. Plums, overripe strawberries, cocoa, cedar, licorice, a bit of mint. Lots going on, and a real bargain at $17. Decanter says 95 points. Let's not get crazy!

Amazing. I guess you really do have to wait a decade for Riojas to reach their potential. This 2016 tastes right in the sweetspot - very firmly structured while showing vibrant fruit notes (plum, prunes, cranberry, currant) elevated with an incredible earthiness (mulch, leather, tobacco). This is the real deal — a month ago

Light golden color. Reserved aromas of orchard, tropical and citrus fruit, sea spray and a hint of fresh cut grass. Flavors of green apple, white peach, lemon/lime and nectarine fruit. Noticeable mineral note on the long and bright finish. Slightly creamy texture (lees aging?) and crisp acidity. Opens up nicely with a little aeration. Straightforward and solid, but not overly complex. Best with food. — 2 months ago

21 years old. Drinking 2005 in 2026. One of the best QPR wines out there. A classic Old World Rioja offering unbelievable quality for the price. Visually, it pours a deep, dark ruby. The nose is rich with seductive burnt oak, dark berries, and smooth vanilla.
On the palate, it delivers a soft, well-balanced light-to-medium body bursting with red and black fruit, sweet cocoa, and a subtle green touch. It closes with a solid medium-plus fruity finish.
This 2005 vintage has plenty of life left to improve for years — 15 days ago

After approximately 30–40 minutes, the wine developed favorably, exhibiting a peppery bouquet and balanced tannins. It proved an ideal accompaniment to steak at Dominic in Tallinn. — 15 days ago
