jamessuckling.com, 100 points: I am speechless about this wine. It’s so deep and vertical with a stunning texture of super polished tannins and juicy acidity. Full body. Yet, it’s agile. Blackberries, black olives, chocolate, stone, cement and dried...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The 2010 Trasnocho is sourced from old vines, mostly Tempranillo with some 5% Graciano, fermented together with the skins of Viura and Malvasía used for the whites. The wine matured in new French oak barrels for 20...
jamessuckling.com, 94 points: The newest project for the Alvaro family, in partnership with Benjamin de Rothschild. This 2015 second wine has an alluring chocolate and cherry nose with impressively integrated spicy oak. The palate has firm tannins in...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: The 2018 Ultreia Valtuille feels very young. Pérez explained that they used more new oak here because he thinks this is the most serious vintage of this wine ever and also his favorite. This is from a plot in Villegas on...
jamessuckling.com, 97 points: (96-97) Very aromatic with dark fruits such as raspberry and blackberry. Black ink undertones. Some pencil lead. Full body, very layered and refined. Ultra-fine tannins. Wonderful length. Aged 12 months in one-year-old...
jebdunnuck.com, 97 points: The top cuvée is the 2015 Alto Moncayo Aquilon, 100% Garnacha that’s mostly barrel fermented and aged in 10% larger oak American Hogshead and 90% in new French oak. It tastes like the straight Alto Moncayo, just slightly...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The great Burgundian-style 2016 Qué Bonito Cacareaba is a blend of Garnacha Blanca, Malvasía Riojana and Viura from old vineyards on poor clay and limestone soils. It fermented in new French oak barrels with indigenous...
jamessuckling.com, 99 points: Real depth on the nose with dark berries, mole, dried flowers, oyster shell and hints of asphalt. Full body, with incredible depth and beauty. What is missing here? Perfect, polished tannins. Melted. Speechless. Hard not...
Vinous, 94 points: (all garnacha, from a vineyard that is reportedly over 100 years old): Inky purple. Explosive aromas of candied red fruits, incense, rose oil and Asian spices, with a bright mineral overtone. Stains the palate with...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: The 2016 Nit de Nin Mas d’en Caçador was produced with grapes from 78- to 113-year-old vines in the Mas d'en Caçador vineyard in Porrera. It's a blend of Garnacha Negra, Garnacha Peluda and Cariñena with some 5% white...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: There is a section of the El Reventón, the 2016 El Reventón RV, which is taken from a separate part of the vineyard, as it's really composed of two plots. This is the part of the vineyard that delivers a wine with more...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: Funnily enough, Dominik Huber has only one varietal Garnacha wine, and it's a top one. The vineyard is in Torroja where the soils are slate and for Dominik slate works better with Cariñena, so he sources the Garnacha from...
