91 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "The aim for the 2015 Garnacha was to get a floral and fresh wine from early-harvested grapes. They fermented in an oak vat and matured in second and third use, 400- and 500-liter oak barrels for one year, transferred to well-seasoned, neutral 225- and 500-liter barrels to complete 20 months in oak. It has the red fruit of Garnacha and the power, but it doesn't have great complexity. It's still young, though. There is good freshness, but it could do with a little more depth. 3,646 bottles were filled in July 2017. Drink: 2018-2022. (Oct 2020)"
