97 points Tim Atkin, MW: "(14.5%) For my money, this is the best release yet of Finca El Otero, a Tinto Fino which now ranks among the region's very best wines. Wonderfully floral and engaging, with stylish oak and fine-grained tannins, flavours of green herbs, fennel, blackberry and oregano, some stony reduction and a tangy, chiselled finish. A superb effort from the La Rioja Alta team. 2024-2035. (2023)"
94 points James Suckling: "Blackberries with refined black spices, cedar and walnuts on the nose. A medium-to full-bodied, tightly knit palate with velvety tannins and solid black and blue fruit. Very long, polished and complete. Drink or hold. (9/9/22)" 94 points Wine Spectator: "A rich red, with generous flavors of blackberry coulis and baked damson plum and accents of ground coffee, dark chocolate, mineral, spices and balsamico herbs, all layered with muscular tannins. Shows full-bodied power, but this is well-integrated and harmonious overall, with a silky texture and a lasting finish. Best from 2025 through 2034. 2,000 cases made, 150 cases imported.)"
