This is one of the most superb quality bargain Riojas! QPR off the charts. Aromas of smoky Oaky & cedar are balanced with delicate florals, is that hints of jasmine or lavender? Juixy Red fruit notes of distinct framboise, cerise, and cassis dominate the excellent flavor of this wine. Second glass I get notes of a sweet freshly baked cookie?! Truly great complexity. Great mouth feel and finish. Drinking 2010 in 2021.

Another great showing for this fantastic, value Rioja Reserva. Years of life ahead.

Well, what a stunner this is. Absolutely textbook Rioja, and so, so youthful at the moment. Took some time to open up - even on the second night, it would’ve enjoyed more time decanted. Testament to how harmonious the tannins & fruit are in the wine. Will definitely be buying more of this and won’t touch for another 5-10 years or so.

Not bad but had better. Nice flavour with beef, but had a slight aftertaste. Drunk 17th May at the Maids head Hotel.
