There's a creamy thing on the nose along with blackberry and cherry. A bit of heat too. The palate is well designed. It's spherical in mid palate and the finish is that sphere expending toward the end for a fairly long amount of time. Strong acid drive, nice blackberry notes all along, a nice matter with a bit of a thickness on the sides, a soft, creamy mouthfeel and a nice bitterness in the end. It's not great but it very gulpable. More of that! — 7 days ago

The average rating is spot on! Great wine for the price, only opens up a little but boy good at first drop too. — 6 days ago

Decanted for an hour. Dark ruby. Opaque. Big/deep nose. Notes of dark berries, smoked meat, dark unsweetened chocolate and some pepper. Good balance in the mouth. Long finish. Paired well with some steaks. — 14 days ago

This is amazing - on the nose you get a damp concert barrel room. Deep dark fruit with dark chocolate and big grip with tannins that are semi-eternal. I under rated this last time - this is my wine of the year (so far). No wonder Parker loved this. Cheers — 19 days ago

As always and as expected, a full bodied wine. Wood and chocolate/coffee. If you never tried #uruguaywine, you should. — 21 days ago

I know less about Rioja than George Costanza knows about women. But damn, this one is pretty good. End of bin special at Binnys so at $24, this seems like a steal. A real nice weeknight drinker. — 3 days ago

9.1

Light gold color with a greenish hue. Complex nose with apple juice, pear, vegetable tones, and minerality. Wine is big and lacks crispness. Some buttery tones and Riesling characteristics but overshadowed by the flavors found on the nose. Give this a 30 minute decant and serve colder than normal. Decent QPR because of its uniqueness. — 20 days ago

Color of dull ruby with a touch of brown and purple gray. Nose of spice, dark berries and dark cherry, currants, cherry jam, coke, medicinal note, violet, a bit carbonates note, and a bit burning in the nasal cavity. Taste of ample acidity, vanilla, currants, savory spice, a bit peppery, a bit zest, refined yet solid tannins, and good alcohol strength. Aftertaste is medium with more sweetness and zest note. Pretty good. — 7 days ago
