Jesús Barquín: Pale yellow, bright, hint of gold. Intense nose, with an unexpected faint oxidative note that imparts complexity nonetheless. Hay bale, fresh almonds. The palate is sharp and less intense than the nose, with herb notes marking the finish. 91
Andrew Jefford: Clear hue of full gold. Bready, tangy, soft, with plenty of honey in the tang. Some oxygen influence. A better palate than the nose suggested: plenty of wealth of flavor, though more to the green-olive end of the spectrum than yeastiness, breadiness, and chamomile flowers. 87
Peter Liem: The broadly fragrant nose is unusual, both in its girth and in its aromas of coconut and milk chocolate. It feels splayed and unfocused on the palate, presenting an intensity of flavor without sufficient definition. 79
