91 points Wine Spectator: "This red is dense yet plush, with blackberry and espresso flavors, accented by licorice, wild herb and mineral notes. Well-integrated tannins and balsamic acidity keep this focused. Harmonious, in a savory style. Garnacha, Merlot, Cariñena, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2027. (10/15/19)"

91 points Peñín Guide to Spanish Wine: "Full-bodied. Nose: cocoa bean, ripe fruit, fruit preserve, dried herbs. Palate: good structure, flavourful, long. (2020)"

90 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "The youngest vines contribute to the 2017 Embruix, a blend of 27% Garnacha, 26% Merlot, 21% Syrah, 18% Cariñena and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon that is ripe and juicy but has a lot less oak than in the past. It's still heady and voluptuous at 15.5% alcohol, but it somehow comes through as quite harmonious and balanced. It matured in third and fourth use 300-liter oak barrels for 12 to 14 months. It was bottled between April and May 2019. Drink: 2020-2025. (Dec 2020)"
