James Suckling: 95 Points
Enticing aromas of black cherries, blackberries, licorice, cloves, green chilis and dark chocolate. It’s full-bodied with fine-grained tannins. Beautifully deep, fleshy and inky, with excellent freshness, too. Spicy and attention-grabbing.
Jeb Dunnuck: 94 Points
Tight and closed, with notions of bloody blue fruits, iodine, rose petals, and cedarwood, the 2020 Impulsivo hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a nicely balanced, layered mouthfeel, and ripe tannins that emerge on the finish. I like its concentration, and its tannins are polished and beautifully integrated, but this is in need of a solid 4-5 years of bottle age to show its full potential. It should have 20-25 years of overall longevity when all is said and done.
Vinous: 94 Points
Spicy and pleasantly rich in the glass, the 2020 Impulsivo, a varietal Tempranillo, wafts up with an array of sweet spice, blood orange and raspberry. It’s silky, even creamy in feel, with ultra-ripe red fruits complemented by hints of cocoa and peppery inner florals. The 2020 finishes with intensity, quite potent and structured, leaving sweet tannins and a hint of bitter spice to linger.
