96 points Decanter: "100% Tinta de Toro. Beautiful nose with some character coming from the wood but also ripe fruit and jam. On the full-bodied palate, it has a great structure and complexity, with silky and soft tannins, intense sweet plum fruit and lively acidity. Poised, intense and very long. In a word, irresistible. Alcohol 15.0%. (DWWA 2022)"
95 points PeñÃn Guide to Spanish Wine: "Colour: cherry, garnet rim;Aroma: balanced, complex, ripe fruit, spicy, fine reductive notes;Flavour: good structure, flavourful, round tannins, balanced, great length. (Jun 2022)"
94 points JoaquÃn Hidalgo (Vinous): "The 2015 Termanthia is a deep garnet Toro wine sourced from XIX-century vineyard plots and aged 22 months in oak barrels. Ripe cherry, wild herbs, dried flowers and a subtle balsamic layer define its complex aromas. Balanced and rich on the palate, it features supple tannins and a long-lasting, nuanced finish. The 2015 is a finely crafted Toro with a well-integrated oak influence. Drink: 2023-2040. (Dec 2023)"
94 points Wine Spectator: "Dense and compact, there's a sense of restraint to this potent red, with flavors of black raspberry puree, tea rose, fig cake, dark chocolate and herb-laced balsamico unfurling slowly on the palate. The dark and brooding flavor range is buoyed by lively acidity, and minerally iron and smoke accents show on the finish, alongside fine, taut tannins. Drink now through 2030. 800 cases made, 400 cases imported. (10/15/22)"
94 points James Suckling: "A rich and intense red with lots of red-fruit aromas and flavors, together with lightly toasted oak and dried flowers. It’s full and powerful, but with a touch of elegance and focus. This is a selection of about five or six of the finest parcels. Drink or hold. (8/9/22)"
93 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "The 2015 Termanthia is a selection from 120-year-old ungrafted Tinta de Toro vines from six plots that fermented in French oak vats with commercial yeasts and matured in barrels for 22 months; this vintage is when they started using less new oak. It has 15% alcohol and a pH of 3.67. Tasting this next to the 2016, it feels like there's more toasty oak here, and it's very balsamic with notes of camphor and a little minty, a little heady and quite ripe with black rather than red fruit, abundant tannins and plenty of oak-related flavors. 10,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2017 and launched in 2022. Drink: 2024-2029. (1/31/23)"
