96 points Robert Parker: "The recently bottled, superb 1998 Pagos Viejos is one of the greatest Riojas I have ever tasted. A dense ruby/purple color is accompanied by a sweet nose of violets, black fruits, minerals, toasty new oak, and smoke. The wine is full-bodied, with gorgeous purity, amazing symmetry for its exceptional size, and an incredibly well-delineated finish. In short, it is great stuff! Anticipated maturity: 2005-2025. (Aug 2000)"
92 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Medium ruby. Complex, vibrant, very expressive aromas of cherry, bitter chocolate, eucalyptus, mocha, clove oil and sexy oak. Lively and penetrating, with terrific clarity of flavor and verve. Finishes very long, with firm, fine tannins. (Nov/Dec 2001)"
92 points James Suckling: "This is solid and very fresh with beautiful fruit and depth. Full body, chewy tannins, flavorful and wonderful length. Pure tempranillo. Drink now. (7/17/15)"
