James Suckling, 96 Points 

"Dried strawberries and cherries with some bark and pine-needle notes. Black tea leaf and lavender, too. Full-bodied with chewy tannins, but they are fine grained and very pretty. Lots of black pepper. Needs time to open. Best after 2022." 

Wine Advocate, 95 Points 

"The 2018 Rozas 1er Cru is one of my go-to wines from Comando G, as it delivers outstanding quality for its price. I had already tasted this before, but like the rest of the wines, I wanted to put it in the context of the full 2018 lineup and also against the still-unbottled 2019. The wine has evolved very slowly, keeping the profile—expressive, floral and open, beautifully textured with the granite fingerprint. Beautiful." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Rozas 1er Cru comes from several plots, totaling 5 ha, of Garnacha located near the town of Rozas de Puerto Real. Similar to its “little” sibling, La Bruja, Rozas 1er Cru is lithe and winsome example of mountain Garnacha but with a deeper minerality and slightly firmer tannin, hence the Burgundian inspired name."
