Reviews 95 points Wine Advocate "There is a bit of an animal hint on the nose of the 2018 La Vizcaina El Rapolao, which Raul Perez tells me is always part of the character of the wine when it's young. The difference with the 2017 is the quality of the tannins, which rounder and more elegant here, and the concentration, which is lower here, so this 2018 comes through as more fluid, fresh and elegant, with a silkier mouthfeel. (LG)" 95 points Vinous "Vivid ruby-red. A highly expressive, complex bouquet evokes ripe red and blue fruits, exotic spices, potpourri, and candied licorice. Palate-staining, appealingly sweet black raspberry, mulberry, cherry cola and floral pastille flavors show fine definition and a bracing core of smoky minerality. Displays outstanding tenacity on the youthfully tannic finish, which echoes the blue fruit, floral and spice notes. (JR)"
