The Wine Advocate # 238 - 31st Aug 2018 - Luis Gutiérrez - 2015 Los Astrales • Christina - 93+/100 - 2018 - 2023 - $85
The powerful and showy 2015 Christina is ripe and reached 15% alcohol. It's also generously oaked but keeps balance after 18 months in new oak barrels. It's powerful and concentrated, with spicy oak flavors but with very good balance and fine-grained tannins following the line of the 2014. 6,000 bottles were filled in July 2017.

James Suckling - August 2, 2018 - Astrales Christina 2015 - 93/100
Very modern, plush and concentrated with rich dark plums, baking spices, black cherries and some graphite. The palate has great density with focus and power, really chiseled into the finish with impressive resolve. The tannins are really exceptional. Drink from 2021.

Tim Atkin - 11/2018 - Bodega Los Astrales Astrales Christina 2015 - 94/100
One hundred-year-old vines on clay/limestone soils in the Pago de Fuentesanta in Anguix supply the grapes for this polished, stylish, finely balanced red with notes of blackberry, clove spice and subtle reduction. 2020-28
