95 points James Suckling: "Deep and layered nose, showing currants and cigar box with a hint of cocoa powder and red chili. This is really supple and textured on the palate with a juicy and silky center-palate, but effortlessly made and extremely poised and elegant. Incredibly long, but subtle and nuanced. 62% cabernet sauvignon, 28% cabernet franc, 8% merlot and 2% petit verdot. This is so delicious now that you want to finish a bottle right away, but it will continue to fledge in the next 5-10 years. (3/22/22)"
94 points JoaquÃn Hidalgo (Vinous): "The 2017 Retrato Por Jean Claude is a blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Cabernet Franc, 8% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot from San Pablo, Tunuyán. The wine spent 14 months in new and used barrels. Garnet red in the glass. The nose offers notes of redcurrant, mint, country herbs and delicate spices along with mild pepper aromas and licorice. In the mouth, it delivers intense flavor with a bold expression and mild, grippy tannins. The palate lingers at length thanks to the texture and moderate freshness. Drink: 2022-2035. (Nov 2022)"
