94 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The entry-level wine from Mas Doix, 2016 Salanques checks in as 65% Grenache (from 80-year-old vines) and the balance Carignan and Syrah, all of which was destemmed and spent 14 months in new and once-used barrels. Giving up a rocking bouquet of plum and blueberry fruits intermixed with plenty of minerality, violets, and hints of iodine, it’s medium to full-bodied, loaded with fruit, has a stacked mid-palate, and loads of character. Drink: 2019-2027. (4/3/19)"
93+ points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "The 2016 Salanques is phenomenal, one of the finest vintages ever. It has an expressive nose combining notes of flowers, wild herbs and berries and subdued minerality, reminiscent of wet slate. The palate is medium-bodied, with a little less alcohol, fine, slightly dusty tannins and very good freshness. It's terribly balanced and tasty. It should develop beautifully in bottle. 18,000 bottles were filled in April 2018. Drink: 2019-2030. (Aug 2019)"
92 points Peñín Guide to Spanish Wine: "(65% garnacha, 25% cariñena, 10% syrah). Colour: very deep cherry, purple rim. Nose: characterful, fruit preserve, dried flowers, dried herbs. Palate: concentrated, fruity, balsamic. (2019)"
