Score 93/100 · Drink 2018-2027, Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate, Aug 2018

A Gran Reserva bottling from their flagship vineyard, the 2012 Pago de Santa Cruz Gran Reserva is from a dry and warm year that produced powerful and concentrated wines. Time in bottle has polished this beast, and the wine shows power with elegant rusticity and undeniable Ribera del Duero character. It still has plenty of dusty tannins to be able to continue aging in bottle for a bit and deal with powerful food. This aged in used barrels for 30 months; perhaps the oak is less noticeable because they didn't use new barrels. 2,300 bottles and 100 magnums were filled in April 2015.
