92 points Tim Atkin, MW: "[14%] Julio Sáenz uses grapes from Haro, Labastida and Rodezno to produce this well-priced Tempranillo. Couched in the bodega's well-established traditional style, with ageing in new and then four-year-old American oak, this has some subtle reduction, sweet patisserie spices of vanilla and coconut, racy acidity, succulent summer berry fruit and the faintest of balsamic twists. 2024-2029. (2024)"
