93 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "[$34 list] It's interesting to compare the 2016 Lindes de Remelluri Viñedos de San Vicente de la Sonsierra with the wine from the same year but from the external suppliers from Labastida, as the two wines are produced in the same way after a natural fermentation in small vats and oak casks and matured in a combination of barriques of different origins and aged for 13 months. The grapes from San Vicente usually achieve more ripeness, which is the case in this 2016. It's a little less precise and focused than the Labastida, especially on the nose. There is a little more rusticity on the palate, with some dusty tannins. Again, I think it represents the character of the village. Drink: 2020-2025. (Oct 2020)"
92 points Tim Atkin, MW: "(14%). Less forbidding and firm than the 2017 that followed it, this 2016 reflects the freshness and higher yields of 2016. Floral and more balsamic, it has rose petal and raspberry fruit, some chalky undertones and well-judged oak. A good introduction to the wines of San Vicente. 2021-24. (2021)"
