Für Robert Parkers renommiertem »Wine Advocate« verkostete und bewertete Luis Gutiérrez u. a. Weine von Tandem aus der D.O. Navarra. Dem roten MÁCULA 2013 vergab er satte 91/100 Punkten und schreibt nachfolgend im Original über die Cuvée aus Merlot und Cabernet Sauvignon:
„The serious and fresh red blend 2013 Mácula feels lively and balanced, younger than the 2014 Ars Nova I tasted next to it, from a year with snow and winter frost that prodived enough water. It’s a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with the herbal aromas of the varieties and a balsamic profile with some creaminess and spiciness from the 18 months in 300-liter French oak barrels. It was kept in underground concrete vats until it was bottled in September 2018. The 15% alcohol goes unnoticed. 14.632 bottes and 429 magnums produced. Not the trendiest or sexiest style, but very good indeed.”
