99 points & 'Red Wine of the Year,' Tim Atkin, MW: "I knew Eduardo Eguren was an exciting young winemaker, but I didn't realise just how good until I tasted this. Sourced from a 1923 parcel called El Hoyo, it's the kind of Tempranillo that belongs in a line up with the greatest wines of Spain. Dense, ferrous, intense and layered, it has very stylish new French oak, impressive weight and concentration, a ferrous undertone, plush tannins and layers of liquorice, blackberry and blood orange. 2028-2040. (2025)" 96 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "There is an extra degree of elegance in the 2022 El Tiznado. This single-vineyard red was produced with fruit from vines planted in 1923 in a plot called El Hoyo in the village of San Vicente de la Sonsierra on red limestone soils at 500 meters in altitude. The destemmed grapes fermented in small oak vats and aged in 500-liter French oak barrels for 16 months. He used 225-liter barrels before, and it feels like the move to 500-liter barrels has given the wine better balance and more integrated oak. It's powerful, elegant, serious and a little closed and undeveloped, with good ripeness, 14% alcohol, good development of aromas and flavors and very fine tannins. This should age effortlessly. 1,439 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2024. Drink: 2025-2038. (2/27/25)"
