94 points James Suckling: "Toasty nose of lemon meringue pie, roasted almonds, smoke, grilled pineapple and fudge. Full-bodied, buttery and opulent with delicious burnt-caramel and fudge character. Yet, it remains fresh. Tangy, Sherry-like hints of olives and salted almonds. Evolves. Drink now or hold. (09/22)."

93 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "The white 2019 Monopole Clásico wants to take us to the wines produced with Viura and Palomino in the old times. The grapes were very healthy, picked the second half of September with power, clout and balance. It's 13.3% alcohol and has a pH of 3.25 and 5.87 grams of acidity (tartaric acid per liter of wine). What makes this white unique is that it contains a small amount of Manzanilla (the biological Sherry produced in the village of Sanlúcar de Barrameda). It's a bit shy and has subtle notes of Sherry, tasty and salty, with a long, dry finish. It slowly opens up, revealing notes of spices and aromatic herbs and a clean and balanced palate. Despite the warm year, the wine has good freshness. 25,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2021. Drink 2022-2028. (07/14/22)."
