99 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "There is a reductive character in the 2018 Finca Piedra Infinita that I also found in the Finca Piedra Infinita Gravascal. There is also a big connection with the 2016, more than with the 2017. There is tension and crunchiness here, and the finish is very mineral, dry and chalky but coupled with deep flavors. The wine feels very young and with huge potential to develop in bottle. The symmetry of the cooler vintages in this bottling is here: there's precision, detail and nuance. There's purity and restraint and great harmony. There is energy and light, power and balance. This is as good as it gets. Drink: 2022-2035. (3/31/21)"

99 points James Suckling: "Aromas of crushed fruit with mushrooms, dried flowers, ash, charcoal, iodine and bark, following through to a full-bodied palate with superb depth of fruit and layers of polished, fine tannins. Extremely long and seamless. A beauty by all accounts. Complex. Juicy. Supple. Better after 2023, when it will give you all it has stored up in goodness, character and uniqueness. (3/23/21)"

98 points Tim Atkin, MW: "[14%] This is a world-class expression of Malbec, made with fruit from eight different parcels inside the Zuccardis’ Piedra Infinita estate. In terms of texture and weight, it has elements of a good red Burgundy and a Loire Cabernet Franc, but with a personality that is all its own. Saline and precise, with redcurrant, red cherry and bramble fruit and no oak interference whatsoever. 2023-2035. (2021)"
