Comparison of two Crianza wines

[wondersofwine]

Just now catching up with this thread having been away to a high school reunion.
I almost never buy anything by the case, Bucko. My usual purchase is one to four bottles and occasionally six of the same wine. I did buy a mixed case of 4 bottles of Heredad de Baroja Rioja Seleccion (basic Tempranillo at great QPR, good for a party wine), 4 bottles of 1995 Baroja Gran Reserva Rioja, and 4 bottles of 1998 Baroja Gran Reserva Rioja. I liked the 1995 the best and may bring a bottle of this to the offline in the Finger Lakes. I agree with Drew that there are some great QPR wines from Spain and with Brappy that some are definitely agers. I haven't had the opportunity to try many Prado Enea (sp?) but know others who collect them for a couple decades or longer.
