Medium minus concentration, light staining, bright ruby. Vanilla, juicy red cherry, slight hint of banana, a lift of rose on the nose. Savory herbs, plum, and spices on the palate. Medium acidity, young chewy tannins, elevated body. A blend of Tempranillo, Graciano, Garnacha, Granegro, Moristel, and more. — 7 years ago

Excellent QPR. Medium/heavy Tempranillo. Lots of pepper on the palate. The noise has classic Rioja notes of vanilla and and subtle black fruit and ripe cherry. — 10 years ago

Buying at the budget end while travelling is like throwing dice, but this Rioja Reserva (1 year in oak, 2 in bottle) delivered nicely at around 11€. Balanced, black/raspberry fruited, earthy, bit of spice, leather, gravelly tannin. If I find another bottle I’ll buy it! Ronda, Spain — 6 years ago

Very smooth fruity and sweet with low tannins. Was enjoyable with spicy lamb chops. Not much aftertaste which is strange for a cabby-sauv I really liked this wine, was sweet with food. Very nice! — 8 years ago

I can smell the wind, the sun, the stone buildings of Spain in this well made of straightforward Rioja. This 2006 is just coming into it’s given that it may have been fruit forward in its early life. I prefer the crianza from this same wine maker, the reserva goes down enjoyably easy. — 6 years ago

Red fruit on the nose, raspberry’s. Love the fruit on the pallet with a nice long mineral like finish. Was rated 97 by decanter. Maybe a bit high, but for pop and pour, this bottle is pretty dang delicious. — 6 years ago

Finally opened the 1995. 22 years later, it still had so much fruit. Retained the length and structure. Beautiful wine to share over a great meal. — 8 years ago
