Jesús Barquín:Ruby with orange-amber rim. Delicate, not very expressive nose, with a clear alcoholic warmth. On the palate, aniseed, cherry liqueur, a slightly hot finish and pleasant aftertaste. 87

Andrew Jefford:Very pale tawny red. Shy and evanescent scents, but sweetly attractive. Silky, burnished, graceful, and deft, with an elegantly tapering flavor. This is a 10 Year Old that drinks like a 12 Year Old. Aerial raisin to finish. Less ample than the best in this category, but a good wine. 87

Richard Mayson:Mid-deep at the core with a broad ambertawny rim; beautifully melded on the nose, fresh and fragrant, a touch lifted and similarly soft and suave on the palate, with dried fruit and savory nut character finished off with a touch of tannin and a softer slightly caramelized finish. 90
