93 points James Suckling: "A gently flinty nose with rich, blackcurrant aromas and gently leafy notes, as well as a floral and spicy edge. The tannins are dense, soft and plush. The clay soils of these parcels deliver some good body and carry plenty of sweet dark-fruit and chocolate flavors to close. Drinking well now, but will age, too. (4/17/20)"

91 points Wine Spectator: "Rich and spicy, with concentrated dark fruit and Asian spice flavors, supported by fleshy tannins and firm acidity. Viscous dried mint and green herbal accents emerge midpalate, leading to a finish that lingers with bittersweet chocolate notes. Drink now through 2024. (5/31/20)"

91 points Tim Atkin, MW: "(14.1%). Sebastián Ruiz is slowly changing the style of wines at Tarapacá, shifting them away from intrusive oak and extraction towards greater elegance. This is a textured, deeply coloured cuvée of Carmenère with 5% Syrah, with smooth tannins, supple black cherry fruit and a sheen of mocha and vanilla. 2022-26. (2020)"
