97 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "As with many other wines, I had two vintages to taste of their flagship red, which is always interesting, but one vintage tends to suffer in the comparison. In this case, the 2020 Clos Martinet played with a disadvantage, as the year was challenging, with unusual rain and fungus problems, almost unheard of in Priorat. This is a completely atypical wine, with more Syrah (40%, when it's usually 18%...) than Garnacha. They focused very much on saving this vineyard and were able to make a volume of wine (but 50% less than the potential of the vineyard). This is a lot lighter; the wine has 14% alcohol but feels light... It feels light and HAS light. They produced 10,000 bottles of it. Drink: 2023-2029. (9/30/22)"

Producer notes: "55% Syrah, 38% Grenache, 6% Carignan, 4% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Sauvignon. Clos Martinet is the Priorat of the 80s. The wine of those who believed in the terroir and devoted all their efforts to taking care of the process, the shape... It is the wine of the generation that precedes us. Different varieties, from different orientations and locations. Go through cement tanks, demijohns, French oak barrels, foudres and also clay jugs to understand all its complexity. A deep and warm, tasty and elegant wine. The most classic and recognizable Priorat."
