[ 95 points James Suckling: A Bierzo red with crushed raspberries, dried herbs such as rosemary and hints of pepper. Shows tension and complexity, firm tannins and a clean finish. Juicy, too. Powerful and provocative wine. Better in 2018. (12/1/16) ] 95 points James Suckling: A Bierzo red with crushed raspberries, dried herbs such as rosemary and hints of pepper.

[ 94 points James Suckling: Great wild berry and herb aromas. This wine is like a flash of lightning in the night that illuminates up an entire landscape. Maybe it's not the most concentrated example from this region, but the purity is stunning. Drink now. (1/18/18) ] 94 points James Suckling: Great wild berry and herb aromas.

[ 93 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): ...The vines are old and are head-pruned, mostly Mencía, whose full clusters fermented in two open-top oak barrels, where the wine also matured for one year. Very aromatic and subtle, with nuances, elegant and very changing in the glass. There is a trace of oak still here, adding some spices and smoke. The palate revealed some dusty tannins and good balance. This is an almost- experimental wine, as only 300 bottles were filled in November 2016. Drink: 2017-2021.
