Robert Parker

“It’s a good thing they didn’t pull up this vineyard, and that Rafael Cambra is showing us this interpretation of a very aromatic, subtle, and floral grape variety, with an almost imperceptible influence from the eight months spent in 500-liter French oak barrels. There’s something different here—a wild note. The palate is very fresh, with a silky texture—very elegant, flavorful, and long. It’s not just unique; it’s also superb. Very, very impressive!”

Review by Mr. THIERRY S. Posted on March 6, 2019

This is nothing like the Spanish wines we’re used to—heavy, full-bodied, oaky, and often warm. Here, we find finesse, freshness, subtlety, and a subtle, well-considered aging process. It’s very good.

But how does Parker rate Spanish wines? Sure, the wine is good, but to give it a score of 90+... it lacks density, length, etc.

Review by Mr. PATRICE K. Posted on September 21, 2017

Powerful, but lacking finesse. Definitely one to watch. A good wine, but does it really deserve a "93/100"??? Or maybe I just didn't know how to appreciate it...

Review by Mr. PASCAL C. Posted on October 16, 2016

Out of two bottles, one was completely oxidized!!! It tasted almost like vinegar. The second one doesn't deserve a 93/100. High acidity, harsh tannins, short on the palate.
