96 points James Suckling: "A fine mixture of minerals, thyme, rosemary, spices, black cherries and blueberries. Showing a bit more herbs and fluidity in the middle, rounded by fine and seamless tannins. Chalky and melted with a vivid, mineral focus in the end. Tempranillo. From organically grown grapes. Can drink now, but better after 2024. (9/8/22)"
94 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "The 2019 Valdeginés comes from an east-facing plot of five hectares opposite La Poza de Ballesteros. The plot was planted 35 to 40 years ago at 600 meters in altitude in the village of Laguardia, and it gets the morning sun. 2019 is a fresh and fruit-driven vintage. Despite the warmth of the year and the lack of water, it has ripe fruit. And it has 14.65% alcohol and mellow acidity, but the palate is not heavy; it's quite fluid. It's harmonious and with very fine and round tannins. A gentle and elegant Valdeginés with lots of licorice, which seems to be the character of the year. The wines are quite approachable and ready in general, but this overdelivers. 20,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2021. Drink: 2022-2028. (Dec 2021)"
94 points Peñín Guide to Spanish Wine: "Colour: bright cherry. Nose: fruit expression, red berry notes, ripe fruit, spicy, creamy oak. Palate: flavourful, fruity, good acidity, long, powerful. (2022)"
