96+ points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "The 2021 ROC is all elegance, perfume and sophistication, with a floral nose that is quite showy and exuberant, with notes of violets and lilies, lavender and aromatic herbs. It's medium-bodied and fine-grained, with very elegant tannins, like the ripeness of the grapes was much more perfect—they developed more nuance and complexity, and the quality of the tannins is very different from those of the 2020. 4,550 bottles produced. Drink: 2023-2032. (8/10/23)"
95 points Tim Atkin, MW: "Mostly Mencía, with a little Palomino (8%), from two parajes in Valtuille de Abajo of 100-year-old vines make up the blend of this 2021 Roc. This is a fantastic combination of the finesse of very sandy soils, and the power and intensity which is the hallmark of this valley. Pretty raspberry fruit and mint is balanced with a stony vibrancy, and despite 14 months in oak, there is only a little woody spice. Tannins are a touch rustic but provide the framing for this wine which surely has a long life ahead. 2024-2031. (2024)."
