96 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "The vino de paraje (lieu-dit) 2020 La Breña 1er, which they consider a premier cru within their internal classification of wines, is from a slightly younger vineyard (60 years old) and some nearby small plots that they started working in 2018. It has seen a progression toward finesse and complexity but without reaching the level of Rumbo al Norte, which is only a few hundred meters away. In 2020, they aged this subtler version exclusively in concrete, equalizing the ripeness down. It has 13.5% alcohol and very fine minerality, like very fine-grained chalky granite. 3,826 bottles and 100 magnums produced. It was bottled in March 2022. Drink: 2023-2030. (5/31/23)"
96 points James Suckling: "A thin, fine gauze of minerality shades the grilled herbs, burnt blood oranges, tea leaves, and grapefruit. Wet stones and subtle red berries. Juicy and expressive on the palate, with stone-firm and minerally-textured tannins before a long, effusive finish. Subtle but very long. Irresistible now, but will hold. (7/20/23)"
