92 points Peñín Guide: "(Monastrell 85%, Cabernet Sauvignon 15%) Deep cherry colour, garnet edge, ripe fruit aroma, varietal, expressive, toasted, creamy oak, earthy, flavourful palate, ripe tannins, balanced. (2008)"

90 points Robert Parker: "...the unfiltered 2003 Las Gravas was aged in 300 liter French barrels for 14 months. It offers lovely floral, creme de cassis, smoke, charcoal, and earthy characteristics in its rich, full-bodied, powerful personality. Enjoy it over the next 7-8 years. (Aug 2006)"

90 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Dark red. Inky, smoky aromas of cherry, printer's ink and beef jerky. Powerful and youthful, with tightly wound, slightly bitter cherry and blackcurrant flavors and a firm tannic bite. Focused, spicy and long on the finish. Plenty of depth here. (Sep/Oct 2006)"
