Wine Spectator Review:
This powerful red delivers traditional character with a modern swagger. This is packed with black cherry, licorice, tobacco and mineral, yet accents them with cola, toast and vanilla. The tannins are rugged yet well-integrated, carrying the fruit and spice through the long finish. Best from 2012 through 2020.

Parker Review:
The 2007 Malleolus de Sancho Martin is a bit more reticent aromatically than the Valderramiro but with a very similar profile. On the palate it has greater volume as well as a bit more structure. Opulent, rich, and concentrated, it will reward extended cellaring and offer prime drinking from 2016 to 2037.

Tanzer Review:
Glass-staining ruby. Brooding dark fruit and floral qualities on the nose, with hints of licorice and roasted plum emerging with air. Weighty, palate-saturating blackberry and boysenberry flavors are complicated by notes of candied violet and black pepper, with a late kiss of minerality adding lift. The broad, chewy finish features suggestions of smoked meat and licorice as well as a sexy floral note. Not an easy read today, but this wine's depth and power are very impressive, and promising.
