He describes the wine as "reductive and a little decadent on the nose with some dried roses, ripe berries, wet earth and moss." Suckling also highlights its "extremely bright and lively" nature on the palate, noting its "fleshy palate with lots of sap, succulent and fine, firm tannins."

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate also gave the 2021 Dits del Terra a score of 96, emphasizing different aspects of the wine. The review mentions that the 2021 vintage shows "lower alcohol and more freshness," with an "herbal note" that suggests the wine is "very young and undeveloped." The 2021 vintage had a shorter aging period and was aged entirely in concrete, avoiding oak, which adds to its "purity and precision, elegance and freshness." The review notes that a total of 4,098 bottles were filled in June 2022.
