92 points James Suckling: "Deep and spicy blackberries and blueberries with a touch of violet, coffee and sandalwood to the nose. Full-bodied and tight, with juicy, tart black cherries and some roasted spices on the palate. Rich and dense, but fresh and floral, too, with fine-grained tannins. Drinkable now, but better in 2024. (10/5/22)"
92 points PeñÃn Guide to Spanish Wine: "(100% tempranillo). Colour: bright cherry. Nose: ripe fruit, black fruit, dried flowers, sweet spices, creamy oak. Palate: flavourful, full-bodied, fruity, balanced, smoky aftertaste, fine tannins. (2023)"
91 points Wine Spectator: "An expressive, full-bodied red, with rich flavors of blackberry coulis, black plum reduction, tea leaf, white pepper and mineral riding a plush texture. Modern in style, this is framed by fresh acidity and firm, fine-grained tannins. Drink now through 2030. (3/31/23)"
91 points Tim Atkin, MW: "(14.5%). Malleolus uses fruit from Las Miras, the high-altitude páramo above the town of Pesquera de Duero. Stylishly wooded in 500-litre French oak, it's floral, forward and refreshing, with a chalky lift and focus, succulent redcurrant strawberry fruit and appealing energy and focus. 2023-29. (2022)"
90 points/'Cellar Selection,' Wine Enthusiast: "[$55 list] As usual, Malleolus hits with a ton of oak, ripeness and hickory. The palate is thick, tannic and bullish, while oaky flavors of bacon, blackberry, vanilla and butter finish toasty and heady. This is a distinct wine; it's defined by ripe fruit, hard tannins and plenty of wood. Drink through 2019. Alcohol 14.5%. (Apr 2023)"
