"The 2021 La Calavera is 98% Viura with 2% other varieties. It aged for 24 months in French oak. Greenish-yellow in hue, this is intensely aromatic, with jasmine, wild herbs, baked apple and a hint of chalk. The palate is long-lasting, balanced and complex, combining intensity with freshness and a well-judged structure to make this a full-flavored white with broad appeal. - By Joaquín Hidalgo, May 2025"
- Antonio Galloni's Vinous (May 2025), 92 pts
"A broad, creamy Rioja Alavesa that shows plenty of vanilla, lanolin and white fruit. Full-bodied and flavorful with bright acidity and tangy flavors entangled with spicy oak in the lengthy finish. Drink or hold. -Zekun Shuai, June 2024"
