93 points James Suckling: "A riper expression with a wealth of dark plums, graphite and gently peppery elements. The palate has a smooth, juicy and fluid feel to it. Plenty of fine tannins and great length. Drink now. (7/24/17)"
91 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "[$45 list] Produced with Mencía grapes and a longer élevage, the 2015 Carravel is a little oaky and has balsamic notes of cigar ash, sweet spices and a smoky and creamy twist. The palate is dry and has some tannins, and it might require more time in bottle and/or powerful food. With time, it settled down a little and developed notes of beef blood and iron, the evolution of the oxidative aging. Drink: 2020-2023. (Feb 2019)"
