93+ points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "[$40 list] The 2018 Martinet Bru is a wine that was born in 1990 and is now their way into Priorat but more about the stone than the fruit, less ripe than in the beginning, with complexity rather than voluptuosity. It's a blend of Garnacha, Cariñena, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from three organically farmed vineyards between Falset and Torroja. The grapes are picked early but at different times, fermented with some full clusters, co-fermented when possible (Garnacha-Syrah-Merlot and Cariñena-Syrah-Cabernet) with indigenous yeasts in concrete vats. It matured in a combination of 4,500-liter oak vats, used 300-liter barrels, amphorae and glass demijohns. It's elegant and fresh, nuanced and clean. It's very harmonious and feels very balanced, with fresh flavors and very fine tannins. It's one of the finest vintages for this bottling. Drink: 2020-2028. (Dec 2020)"
92 points PeñÃn Guide to Spanish Wine: "Wild, fruity. Colour: cherry, purple rim. Nose: red berry notes, floral, spicy. Palate: flavourful, fruity, good acidity, long, easy to drink. (2021)"
