95 points Tim Atkin, MW: "Mediterranean is how Francisco Barona describes the torrid conditions in 2022. Reflecting his hard work in the vineyards, this comes from 11 different old-vine parcels in Anguix, La Aguilera, La Horra and Roa and is a skilfully judged blend of Tinto Fino and 25% Garnacha, Bobal, Albillo Mayor and Jaen. Bold, intensely coloured and aged in new French oak, it has layers of plum, blackberry and sweet spices, glossy tannins and added complexity from 20% whole bunches. 2027-2035. (2024)."

90 points Joaquín Hidalgo (Vinous): "The 2022 Francisco Barona is Tinto Fino with 25% Garnacha, Bobal, Albillo and Jaen from Ribera del Duero. It was aged for 14 months in new French oak. Deep garnet in color, the wine opens with cedar, vanilla and fine oak, followed by black fruit and a hint of blackberry. The palate is rich and concentrated, slightly warm at 15% but juicy, with sweet tannins and good depth. Drink 2025-2035. (06/25)."

90 points Claire Nesbitt (Jamessuckling.com): "A bold, warming red that has baked-blueberry, kirsch, bitter-chocolate and coffee aromas. It’s full-bodied with a toasty and bittersweet edge. Drink now or try in 2025. (08/26/24)."
