99 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The flagship 2017 Clos Erasmus is even better, with a heavenly, lifted nose of black raspberry and mulberries interwoven with lots of spice, dried flowers, chalky minerality and graphite. Flawlessly balanced, full-bodied, and incredibly pure, with not a hard edge to be found, this ranks with the top vintages I’ve tasted. The blend is , aged 18 months in Burgundy barrels. It will shine for another 15-20 years. Don't be afraid to give it some air if drinking anytime soon. Drink: 2021-2041. (3/22/21)"

98 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "The just-bottled 2017 Clos Erasmus is a blend of Garnacha with 25% Syrah that fermented with indigenous yeasts in oak vats and matured in 228-liter oak barrels (40% new). It feels very aromatic, expressive and open, floral and elegant and surprisingly fresh for the conditions of the year. It's still young and undeveloped, with the puppy fat still to be rendered, and right now, it comes through as juicy and elegant, with very good freshness and super fine tannins. It's very aromatic and floral, really impressive for 2017. It seems like the year was much better in the Mediterranean part of Spain than in the rest of the country. 3,000 bottles produced. Drink: 2019-2030. (8/30/19)"
