Jon Steeves rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

This grand reserva shows garnet and is declared at 14% ABV. Aromatics of dried fig, plum, red fruit. Medium tannins, medium acidity, medium body. Well integrated and pairs well with Spanish Paella. Tasted Dec 2015.

Matt Steeves reviewed this wine as follows:

Tasted blind, November 21, 2013. Suspect the bottle was flawed, possible cork taint, as the nose/palate were mute. Plan to taste another bottle and (fingers crossed) have a much different experience.

Sean O'Regan rated this wine as 84/100 with the following review:

Nov 21, 2013: Blind tasting NCSG Vintages pre-release. Deep ruby/garnet. Nose is very muted, with some earthy, mushroom notes, but fruit seems elusive. Palate is dull, with some dried plummy notes, soft tannin and medium acidity on a thin body. Although there is no obvious notable flaw on the nose/palate of tca/cork taint, I suspect that this may be an off bottle, especially when it was revealed what the wine was. A disappointment for sure - will update review if able to taste from another bottle.
