"A powerful red, with a strong mineral band cutting through the dark plum and blackberry flavors. There's plenty of elegance as well, with fresh acidity and a rich, chewy finish of dark chocolate and mint. Drink now through 2017. -KM"

93 Mark Squires - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2007 Tinto, an old vines field blend, is the flagship wine here. This year's version is graceful, aromatic, exuberant and sweet. It is refreshing and nicely structured, and really needed some time to show its best and develop some complexity. It had no more depth on opening - and seemed not to have as much - as the 'Po,' the second wine reviewed this issue, but as it aired out, it showed far more persistence and expanded in the glass while the second wine, by contrast, thinned just a little. Had I scored these quickly based on 90 second tastes on release, I might actually have preferred the second wine, but this kept asserting itself, showing more finesse and more delicious fruit as it fleshed out, better aromatics and more complexity with air. By Day 2, it was no longer a contest, the Tinto showing powerful and pristine. Drink 2011-2022."
