92 Points - James Suckling: Fennel, lemon and grassy notes with volume. Medium- to full-bodied, more full than medium, this is viura and garnacha, textured with a herbal undertone but with stone fruit and texture on the finish.
91 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The super young 2025 Blanco was cropped from a year with mildew and 15% to 20% lower yields, from vines in Rioja Alta and Alto Najerilla, mostly Viura with Garnacha Blanca and Malvasía Riojana—very little in 2025, because the variety suffered more from mildew. It fermented in large oak vats and 40% in barrel and was kept with lees for four months before being bottled. It has a very balsamic and raw nose, denoting its youth, with notes of bay leaf and a medicinal touch. It comes in at 13.5% alcohol, with a pH of 3.33 and 5.7 grams of acidity. Despite its youth, it feels super balanced, clean and focused, serious and chalky.
