Vinous Antonio Galloni 92/100 (Nov. 2015)
+Aromas of ripe red berries, candied rose, vanilla and pipe tobacco, with a mineral element contributing vivacity. Juicy, penetrating and gently sweet on the palate, offering vibrant raspberry and cherry flavors that deepen on the back half. Shows very good heft and power on a long, focused finish framed by harmonious, slowbuilding tannins.
Guía Peñín 91/100 (2016)
+Colour: cherry, garnet rim. Nose: balanced, complex, ripe fruit, spicy, waxy notes, tobacco, wet leather. Palate: good structure, flavourful, balanced.
Robert Parker 90/100 (Apr. 2015)
+The 2009 Viña Alberdi, from a much warmer growing season than 2008, was equally pure Tempranillo sourced from their vineyards in Rodezno and Labastida, matured in American oak barrels for two years. The palate has round fruit, polished tannins and has less acidity than the 2008.
WineSpectator 90/100 (Aug. 2015)
+This red offers traditional flavors of tea, tobacco, dried cherry and vanilla in a supple texture, with orange peel acidity and a spicy finish. Graceful and harmonious. Smart Buy!
Falstaff 92/100
