97 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "The finest vintage of the red from Cobrana has to be the 2021 VO Cobrana, which comes from a challenging year, with rain and pressure from mildew (and perhaps some botrytis). It's very perfumed, elegant and Burgundian, floral and super tasty, with very fine tannins, very good freshness and balance. In 2021, she found many more vineyards and the yields were better, so she was able to produce much more wine and better quality too! This is even better than the 2018, which was my favorite until now. It should get even better with some time in bottle, as it was only bottled in March 2023, despite the fact that the 20221s have been accessible from early on. 7,500 bottles produced. Drink: 2023-2032. (8/10/23)"

94 points Peñín Guide to Spanish Wine: "With personality, fruity. Colour: bright cherry. Nose: musky notes, fresh fruit. Palate: full of life, fruity, blsamic, long, great length, fruity aftertaste, easy to drink, taut, good acidity. (2024)"
