A great example of the Rioja style wines. It has a semi-floral nose, a deep, rich body, and the classic smooth and spicy finish we love about Tempranillo wine.

I’m hoping this wine improves as it open up. Out of the bottle there an overwhelming flavor between Acid and tart, and it isn’t good. Otherwise the wine is fine but not “very good”. As the wine opened up the acid/tart turned to “jammy” … somewhat better but still not “very good”. Tasted 10 March 2022

Very good QPR. Very typical Rioja body, taste and character at a very reasonable price. Good with Spanish and Medi foods of all sorts. I definitely would buy again.

2008 reserva. Good, definitely scores higher than standard one - smoother. Best decanted.
