Sam Kim - Wine Orbit
The attractively expressed bouquet shows dark berry, cured meat, olive, and warm spice aromas, followed by a succulent palate that's supple and silky. Well supported by chalky tannins, making it robust and lingering with a flavoursome finish.

Jeni Port - Halliday Wine Companion
Built not so much for speed, but for an exploration of gentle savouriness and deep, spiced dark fruits. It's a subtle approach from the maker, who knows the grape well from experience in Spain. It looks to dark fruits, blackberry, cassis – really expressive – with dried leaves, earth, spice, pepper and a stylish light herbal edge. Sweeping tannins carry plenty of flavour, finishing dry. A wine that builds the longer it is open.

Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front
Very good. Firm, well-fruited, gently savoury and well textured. It tastes of sweet red berries, roasted spices, cedar and steel, though it’s characterised mostly by its firmness, its freshness, and its overall energy. There’s genuine value on offer here. It’s rare to find such an accomplished Tempranillo at this price level.
