Amazing 2012 loved every bit of it, if you love dry red you will love this. — 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

Vino de tinto con un paso por barrica que se sienten en nariz y en boca de taninos aterciopelados — 9 years ago
Tangy minerality. Lime zest. Great balance. Def on the dry side. $9.24 btg G — 10 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

Fresh and crisp with citrus and flower notes. Great afternoon wine — 8 years ago
Strong but balanced tannins. Solid companion to meat and roasted veggies. A great dumpster dive find! TMI. — 9 years ago
I would give this an 8.5 for taste (verrrrry mellow, but good), but the label is SO pretty. Sometimes you just need to buy yourself a pretty bottle of wine. — 10 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
Potente y amaderado. Muy rico — 6 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
Probably the best wine I’ve ever tasted. — 8 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

Crisp and light. Nice hints of citrus, pear and good acidity. Could do well at a nice dinner or on the beach. Organic and a good price. Will definitely keep this in mind for the future. — 6 years ago
