96 points/'Cellar Selection,' Wine Enthusiast: "[$350 list] Aromas of dark plum, cassis and herbes de Provence pave the way for flavors of black cherry, purple fig, cocoa powder, espresso bean and violet, with touch of black-olive paste. Durable tannins and brilliant acidity play on the palate and stay for a while. Drink now through 2039. (Apr 2023)"
95 points James Suckling: "Aromas of blackberries and brambleberries with dried flowers and lavender. Really perfumed. Full-bodied with round, creamy tannins and hints of oak and berries in the aftertaste. This is very finely crafted. Give it two or three years to come together. Better after 2023. (10/14/21)"
94 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Lastly, the 2019 El Tiznado comes from a single vineyard planted in 1923 and is 100% Tempranillo aged 18 months in new barrels. Black raspberries, cassis, spicy oak, violets, and lead pencil-like notes all give way to medium to full-bodied effort with good sweetness of fruit, a round, lush mouthfeel, velvety tannins, and a great finish. It doesn't have the precision of the Los Yelsones but brings more fruit and texture. (06/13/22)."
