Exemplary QPR at an Asian tapas restaurant for ~$40 a bottle. Very characteristic #crianza #tempranillo with background of fruit, foreground of acidity, slight spice notes and soft tannins - excellent with lamb chops. — 6 years ago

Excellent #crianza #rioja blend - this might be the peak time for this 2013 vintage. Earthy, laid back dark fruit aroma, lots of acidity and a touch of spice with some robust tannins that trail into a pleasing finish. — 7 years ago

Fruit-forward #riberadelduero #crianza potent cassis, blackberry aroma, lovely balance of acidity, oak and fruit. Some cocoa and spice on the finish and lively tannins on long-trail finish.

Ah yes a classic beautiful Spanish #crianza . Sometimes this age is hit-or-miss; but this is excellent. Very laid back nose, earthy character with a touch of dark berry, some spice and a looong finish with lingering tannins. — 7 years ago

Elegant traditional #rioja #crianza - Genteel nose of dried cherries, tobacco leaf, mushrooms and faint vanilla flows through to palate of sweet tobacco, cherry compote, baking spice and fine crisp tannins. — 5 years ago

I enjoyed this #crianza #rioja in a restaurant with a good wine list. A bit less earthy, more stone fruit flavors - accompanied braised beef short ribs nicely. — 7 years ago

Lovely #crianza #rioja. The classic bell pepper flavors are very muted but overall this drinks like a more fruity Bordeaux. Earthy and bramble fruit are nicely balanced with a tart backbone and soft tannins on long finish. — 8 years ago
