92 points Josh Raynolds (Vinous): "Glistening ruby-red. Spice-tinged red fruit and floral aromas pick up hints of coconut and succulent herbs with air. Silky and expressive on the palate, offering appealingly sweet cherry and raspberry flavors and a spicecake nuance that builds steadily in the glass. Closes long and smooth, with repeating florality and subtle tannins that come in late. Drink: 2022-2029. (Apr 2021)"
92 points Peñín Guide to Spanish Wine: "(tempranillo). Colour: cherry, garnet rim. Nose: ripe fruit, sweet spices, creamy oak, balance. Palate: flavourful, long, ripe fruit, spicy. (2022)"
91 points Tim Atkin, MW: "(14.5%). Julio Saenz describes his 2016 as "more opulent" than the 2017 bottling, which is also on the market at the moment. Plush, sweet and appealingly balsamic, with strawberry jam and mulberry flavours, scented American oak and a hint of volatility. A crowd pleaser that's good to drink now. 2021-24. (2021)"
