Having been struck by the crianza, I immediately bought a bottle of this to see how it held up at such a good QPR.

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.
