98 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "[$95 list] The 2021 Las Gravas contains grapes from a vineyard planted in 2006 (that already contributed to the 2020), and it has given the wine a fine-boned profile, with more freshness and varietal Monastrell notes, a rustic-elegant feeling. It keeps the incredible quality level of the 2020, with Jumilla typicity; it's Mediterranean, powerful and energetic, with balanced 15% alcohol and a chalky, rocky, stony sensation in the finish. This always contains some 8% to 12% Garnacha... It was bottled in June 2023, as they did a longer élevage. This matured 100% in oak foudre; they abandoned the 500-liter barrels for this wine and for Pie Franco. Drink: 2024-2034. (1/18/24)" 94 points Peñín Guide to Spanish Wine: "Colour: bright cherry. Nose: complex, spicy, mineral, fruit expression, balsamic herbs. Palate: elegant, full-bodied, long, great length. (2024)"
