JancisRobinson.com: “An absolutely beautiful wine, delicate and expressive, showing violets, redcurrant and pomegranate. This is a superb red, full of energy, mineral tension and with seamless construction, delivering enviable depth and precision. Fine-grained, sapid, vertical and vibrant, with perfectly integrated tannins and a distinct mineral edge. The most mineral and cooler-profiled red from Adega O Cabalín, clearly reflecting its northerly exposure which brings extra freshness and vertical tension. Drink now-2040.” 18 points
