Robert Parker Wine Advocate:

The 2021 La Nieta is among the finest wines in its powerful, ripe and generously oaked, modern style of red Rioja. It's a single-vineyard Tempranillo with 14.05% alcohol, a pH of 3.63 and 5.8 grams of acidity. It comes from the 1.75-hectare vineyard that named the wine. It was planted in 1975 on silt, clay and sandstone soils in Páganos (Laguardia) at 525 meters above sea level and worked biodynamically (but not certified). The hand-destemmed grapes fermented in small 2,000-liter oak vats with yeasts selected from their vineyards and matured in new French oak barrels for 15 months. It felt very balanced, a little shy and undeveloped, elegant and fresh in this slightly cooler year. The grapes ripened slowly and had a full development of aromas and flavors, making the wine more nuanced and complex, while the palate kept very good balance with its freshness. The tannins are very complete and elegant. It opened up with time in the glass to more floral aromas, making it the most perfumed of the wines from the Eguren family that I tasted this time. 5,000 bottles were filled in July 2023. Drink Date 2025-2037. Rating 97+/100. - Luis Gutiérrez

Vinous:

The 2021 La Nieta is Tempranillo sourced from a tiny plot in Páganos. Aged for 16 months in French oak barrels, this purplish wine features red fruit aromas with sour cherry and cassis notes, along with wild herbal hints. Dry and fairly creamy, the fine-grained palate lingers with a juicy, taut mouthfeel. This delicate and nuanced modern Rioja adopts a more reductive approach, conveying a compact and streamlined style. Drink Date 2024-2040. Rating 94/100. -Joaquín Hidalgo- 

James Suckling:

A naturally concentrated red with a lifted chalky touch to its extremely healthy fruit. Blackberries, blueberries, fine spices, blue flowers, violets, dark olives and minerals. So fresh, juicy and sophisticated, with filigreed tannins that support and melt. Long, subtle and bright. Very linear and elegant in quality. Drink or hold. Rating 97/100. –JamesSuckling.com–

WineEnthusiast.com:

This ultradeep garnet-colored wine offers a bouquet of cassis, chocolate-covered caramel and graphite. A framework of opulent tannins supports blackberry, black cherry, mocha, violet and clove flavors. The elongated finish is marked with a note of cocoa bean. Drink through 2036.
