Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Very fun yet complex Gran Reserva. There’s plenty going on in the glass with ripe cherry, fresh and dried tobacco and herbs, hung meat and cool spice. 92 Points.

Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Lovely! This Rioja is Gran Reserva, meaning 60 months aging with at least 2 in barrel. Aromas of dark cherry, leather, and warm vanilla and spice. Full bodied, acidity is high and tannins are still young, but softened with decanting. Lotd of ripe fruit on the palate, and more leather on the finish. Enjoy with grilled meats.
