This vintage of the timeless classic has garnered high praise from critics, underscoring its status as a legendary Rioja. Upon release it earned multiple 90+ scores and glowing reviews that have only enhanced its renown among wine connoisseurs:

92 Points – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: “The deep ruby/purple-colored 1989 offers up smoky, sweet, jammy black cherry fruit aromas intertwined with minerals, tobacco, and vanillin… Medium-bodied and ripe… this hedonistic, luscious Rioja can be drunk now and over the next 15+ years.” Parker highlighted it as the estate’s flagship wine, made only in the best years – a “great effort” from a traditional Rioja house.

90 Points – Wine Spectator: “Ink-colored… still vivid and youthful, with a bright streak of acidity enlivening the dried cherry, raisin and cola flavors. The tannins are firm but ripe… plenty of stuffing to develop with age.” This review, noting the wine’s youthful vigor and aging potential even years after bottling, attests to its formidable structure and depth.
