96 points JoaquÃn Hidalgo (Vinous): "[$50 list] The 2021 Vatan Tinta de Toro opens with aromas of violets, lavender, fresh plum and raspberry, framed by subtle oak and a touch of cedar. Intense and creamy, the palate is broad and flavorful, with velvety, finely textured tannins. The finish is long, delivering depth and nuance. This is a balanced and elegant Tempranillo with a measured profile. Tannins show gentle grip, bringing tension that complements the wine’s volume and richness. A superb vintage that lends this wine exceptional depth. Drink: 2025-2045. (Jun 2025)"
95 points/'Podium Award,' PeñÃn Guide to Spanish Wine: "Complex, full-bodied, juicy. Colour: cherry, purple, rim. Nose: red berry notes, floral, spicy, creamy oak. Palate: flavourful, fruity, good acidity, long. (2025)"
92 points Wine Spectator: "Fragrant on the nose, with violet and rooibos tea notes. The palate offers a pure beam of cassis and black raspberry fruit, with rich flavors of espresso, milled pepper and smoked paprika. A well-tailored version, integrating sculpted, limber tannins and a mineral-laced underpinning that echoes on the finish. Drink now through 2036. (6/20/25)"
