JS James Suckling: 93 Points
Savory spices and red berries with iron, white pepper, grilled sesame and citrus. Restrained, pretty complex and traditional, this has medium body, fine tannins and a long, juicy finish.
DC Decanter: 93 Points
Autumnal, bonfire character here: savoury, truffle, cinder toffee and dried black cherry. A classic yet rich and concentrated wine that perfectly expresses the year and region.
WS Wine Spectator: 92 Points
A harmonious red that leans toward traditional in style without forsaking its concentration or fruit expression. An overtone of tobacco, vanilla and milled white pepper is a fragrant thread winding through ripe and juicy black cherry and plum fruit, framed by refined, supple tannins. Hints of leather, red licorice and wild thyme play on the fresh, focused finish. Tempranillo, Graciano and Mazuelo. Drink now through 2036.
