Reviews taken from Decanter magazine's Rioja Guide 2023:
"A perfumed wine with vegetal maturity. This has evolved very well into a round, plump, fleshy gran reserva with a sweet fruity finish. Drink 2023-2048."

"Open, very clean and precise, with indications of ageing. Juicy, appetising, soft and serious at the same time, with a long, distinctive finish. Still far from its peak."
95 pts, Pedro Ballesteros Torres, decanter.com
"A classic, with its dense fruit oranges, bright acidity and fine tannin, interwoven with American oak. Very fresh."
95 pts, Sarah Jane Evans, decanter.com
