96 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "The vines used for the 2018 Pago La Jara from Toro enjoyed abundant rains in winter and spring, which allowed them to recover from the 2017 frost and achieve normal yields again. The summer was dry and allowed a good ripening and resulted in tannins of good quality. It fermented in 3,000-kilo oak vats with indigenous yeasts and matured in a French oak barrel and a 1,500-liter oak foudre for 18 months. It has perfume and finesse like no wines from Toro, but it still has the power and concentration from the zone, meaty and juicy. It's a very balanced vintage for this wine, with harmony and potential to develop nicely in bottle. 2,069 bottles were filled between May and June 2020. Drink: 2023-2030. (Jan 2023)"
95 points James Suckling: "Great depth to the nose, with wild herbs, black cherries, dark earth and hints of scented violets, iodine and graphite. Very elegant and dry, in terms of fruit-sweetness on the palate, which is coated by a massive amount of fine tannin that seeps into the round and supple core of black fruit and herbs. Full-bodied and tightly structured, without feeling extracted. Quite pristine and naturally rendered. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but will be much better after another 2 to 3 years in the bottle. Best from 2025. (9/9/22)"
