97 points Tim Atkin, MW: "(12.5%). Tasted from tank just before bottling, this is the latest in a run of brilliant Albariños from a 1.4-hectare parcel of pre-phylloxera vines next to the bodega. Effortlessly complex, poised and well balanced, it’s one of Spain's greatest whites, showing remarkable purity and focus. Long, complex, textured and refreshing, with granitic intensity and a salty tang. 2025-35. (2024)"
96+ points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "The nose of the 2023 Albariño Cepas Vellas is very austere, and it took a long time in the glass to take off. It has lower alcohol and more contained ripeness than its siblings, with a brighter color and a higher-pitched palate, serious and austere, like liquid granite to me. This is pure elegance and finesse in a year of great balance. 9,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2024, a little later than the other 2023s. It should be very long lived. Drink: 2026-2038. (7/24/25)"
