Enjoyed this for years, but hadn’t seen it in a while and realized they changed their label - big time. Still great QPR: Tempranillo but darker fruit profile, licorice, earthy, swarthy, musky w/vanillin notes as well. Great complexity, enticing nose - equally delightful on palate, darker fruit but more like black cherry. Sturdy tannins, not elegant but provincial w/decent balance - just enough acidity to make it food friendly for charcuterie. — 6 months ago

Granja Vendrell in Barcelona. Gewurztraminer from northern Italy. Sweet, honey nose, but very little sweetness on the palate. Stone fruits. Honey. Acidity keeps it fresh.

This Gewürztraminer in fact, is proposed with a style less concentrated on the aromatic part in favor of body and taste-olfactory finesse. The wine has a beautiful intense straw yellow color. On the nose, its fruity scents of white peach, citrus notes of lime and lemon, bergamot conquer the nose; also present hints of dried aromatic herbs such as thyme and white sage, decisive herbaceous and vegetable hints, which we then also find on the palate. On the palate, the wine is intense, with good minerality and great finesse, the characteristic of his personality that most represents him. Persistent, it remains on the palate very long, with great pleasure. — 3 years ago

12 yr old rioja blanco. Beautiful golden color. Banana nose. Almost chemical. Blew off after about 30 mins and the acidity took flight. A special wine, but I think we were too aggressive out of gates to taste its peak. — 22 days ago

Deep black fruits aromas, a rich body but some definite tannins, the black fruit flavors come through with notes of licorice and violet. A good wine as the temperatures start to fall. — 2 months ago
