Robert Parker

"It's a good thing they didn't uproot this vineyard and that Rafael Cambra shows us this interpretation of a very aromatic, subtle, and floral grape variety, with an almost imperceptible impact 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 only unique, it's also superb. Very, very impressive!"

Review and opinion by Mr. THIERRY S. Published on March 6, 2019

Nothing like what we know of Spanish wines, which are heavy, massive, woody, and often warm. Here, finesse, freshness, subtlety, discreet and intelligent aging. It's very good.

Review and opinion by Mr. CEDRIC T. Published on 06/18/2018

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

Review and opinion by Mr. PATRICE K. Published on 09/21/2017

Powerful, but lacking finesse. Definitely worth waiting for. A good wine, but does it really deserve a "93/100" rating? Or perhaps I just didn't know how to appreciate it...

Review and opinion by Mr. PASCAL C. Published on 10/16/2016

One of the two bottles was completely oxidized!!! Close to vinegar. The second one does not deserve a score of 93/100. Acidity, harsh tannins, short finish.
