90 points Decanter:"There is Cava, and then there are the wines made by Raventós i Blanc. In this unusually elegant pink sparkler, the super-pale hue is from an addition of Monastrell from almost 50-year-old vines; some of the Xarel.lo and Parellada vines that also contribute fruit are even older. Juicy, peppery cherry on the nose spells immediate freshness, with more berry notes trailing in its wake. Elegance, saltiness, cherry juice and brightness make this a light-footed, peppery and totally mouthwatering aperitif choice. Biodynamic. Drinking Window: 2023-2025. (9/29/23)"
90 points Wine Spectator: "A firm, focused sparkler, with a pleasingly crisp, lightly chalky texture, this offers a subtle, savory overtone of smoke, stone and grilled herbs and flavors of black cherry, pickled ginger and almond pastry. Fresh finish. Xarel-lo, Macabeo, Parellada and Monastrell. Disgorged March 2023. Drink now through 2026. (10/31/23)"
