97 points Joaquín Hidalgo (Vinous): "Mas de la Rosa is a Grand Vineyard in Priorat, established at the beginning of the 20th century. The 2021 Mas de La Rosa Gran Vinya Classificada is 100% Cariñena that underwent 12 months of aging in concrete and Austrian foudres . This pristine wine features notes of strawberry and pomegranate, along with violets, watermelon, freshly crushed plums and hints of clove. Dry and compact, with a talc texture and an infusion-like mouthfeel, it delivers a juicy, thirst-quenching, long-lasting finish. Minutes later, a subtle bay leaf tone lingers on the palate. This is a complex and beautiful expression of old vines from Priorat. Drink 2025-2036. (Nov 2024)."
95 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "The exuberant and aromatic 2021 Mas de la Rosa is pure Cariñena from vines planted in 1900 on very steep llicorella slate soils at 600 meters above sea level. The destemmed grapes fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts, and the wine matured in concrete egg and Austrian oak foudre. It's a bit jammy, with notes of black raspberries, spice and an earthy touch. It's juicy and full-bodied, with glossy tannins and ripe flavors in the finish. 1,333 bottles produced. It was bottled in October 2022. Since 2019, this is one of the new Gran Vino de Viña Clasificada, a.k.a. grand cru wines, from Priorat. Drink 2025-2035. (05/16/24)."
95 points James Suckling: "Pure fruit aromas of dark cherries, plums, tobacco, cedar and blueberries. The palate is full-bodied with finely integrated tannins and balanced acidity, giving notes of mocha, blackberry compote and spices. Seamless and refined, with a powerful undertone. Drink or hold. (01/14/25)."
