95 Points - Luis Gutiérrez (RobertParker.com):

"I tasted the 2018 P.F. next to the 2019. The two vintages were quite different, and it's great to see them side my side. The vinification and élevage are the same, in the last few years shorter, which makes them approachable from early on. This has a lighter color than the 2019, and it's a little more austere and closed, serious and more reductive, not as immediate as the 2019. From this vintage onward, the wine is exclusively in 4,500-liter oak foudres, as they have abandoned the 600-liter oak barrels. This is truly outstanding and, like most of the wines here, a real bargain for the quality it delivers. It has to be one of the finest, if not the finest, vintages for this wine. There are some similarities with La Casilla with extra depth and complexity. 9,000 bottles were filled in August 2019." - Wine Advocate
