Jesús Barquín: Golden, slightly cloudy. Smoky nose and palate, herbal, spirity but not hot. Has character yet both the structure and the aromas want a certain extra balance to rank among the best in its class. 91
Andrew Jefford: Clear mid-gold. Sweet and warm, but lacks the fresh yeasty lift one hopes for from en rama; some apple fruit here. Simple, coarse, and unpleasant on the palate, with bitter notes. 78
Peter Liem: This is assertive, intense, and even a little tannic. It shows relatively mature flavors of flor aging, yet it feels buoyant and lively on the palate, with a briskly saline undertone. 89
