93 points Jeb Dunnuck: "[$19 list] Coming from limestone soils and all Monastrell, raised in new, second, third, and fourth-use French oak barriques, the 2020 Mira Salinas Monastrell sports a vivid purple hue and offers remarkable purity in its crème de cassis, crushed violets, spice box, crushed stone, and graphite nuances. It's concentrated, medium to full-bodied, has remarkable purity, and ripe tannins. (7/3/24)"
91 points Joaquín Hidalgo (Vinous): "The 2020 Monastrell Mira Salinas is sourced from Alicante. Aged for one year in oak barrels, this purple wine offers aromas of thyme, bay, violet and plum. Dry and rich, the palate features a slightly uplifted acidity that invigorates the wine. Complex, with a solar core, this is an intense and captivating red. Drink: 2024-2036. (Sep 2024)"
91 points/'Best Buy,' Wine Enthusiast: "[$19 list] This deep violet-red colored wine has a nose of blackberry and smoked bacon. A touch of smoke continues on the palate, joined by fluid tannins and black cherry, Mission fig, milk chocolate, orange zest and mint flavors with a touch of earthiness on the finish. Alcohol 14.5%. (Jul 2024)"
