95 points Tim Atkin, MW: "(13.5%). There are very few wineries in Rioja that make traditional style wines of this quality, let alone at this price, so hats off to the Peciñas. Made with grapes from Baños de Ebro, San Vicente, Labastida and Rivas de Tereso, it's a supple, palate-caressing Gran Reserva with notes of spices, wild mushroom and gamey sweetness. 2019-28. (2019)"
94 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2009 Rioja Gran Reserva from the Peciña family is a superb example of this warmer vintage in the region. The deep and complex bouquet wafts from the glass in a riper mix of red and black cherries, spices meats, a fine base of soil, smoke, toasted coconut, allspice, clove and a delicate topnote of cigar wrapper. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and velvety on the attack, with a lovely core, great focus and grip, modest, seamless tannins and a long, tangy and perfectly balanced finish of excellent complexity and grip. This is old school Rioja of the highest order, which is just starting to drink at its apogee and has decades of life ahead of it. Fine, fine juice. 2018-2045+. (May/Jun 2018)"
94 points Luis Gutierrez (Wine Advocate): "[$45 list] There is one more exceptional red with an extended aging in barrel that was only produced in 1998, 2001 and 2003, and now in this 2009 Señorío de P. Peciña Gran Reserva. It is the usual Tempranillo with 3% Garnacha and 2% Graciano, but in this case from 50-year-old vines from their Finca Iscorta vineyard in the Sonsierra zone. The wine is aged in well-seasoned American oak barrels for four years with manual and gravity racking twice per year. If the nose could somehow remind you of the 2009 Reserva, this is more open and aromatic, more nuanced, and the palate also shows a level of complexity and refinement that makes it much more enjoyable, with polished tannins and great length. While it's not a wimp, it doesn't overload your senses. A great and classical Gran Reserva. 15,000 bottles were filled in September 2013. Drink: 2016-2024. (6/2/16)"
