BUY THE WINE

Jesús Barquín: Very pale. Fresh citrus aromas, with spicy notes. The palate repeats this pattern, with perhaps more vanilla and cedary notes than fruit. The end brings a hint of custard. Should grow in the bottle. 87

Andrew Jefford: Pale lemon-gold. Creamy quince scents. disappeared, gone under. But, yes, it is fun. 83 emphasis, built around soft sustaining acidity but with ample richness to balance it out. Long, structured, and vinous finish. Very good white Rioja and superb mealtime drinking. 87

Richard Mayson: Fresh, fragrant, appley aromas; similarly fresh and clean on the palate, steely acidity leading to a zesty finish. Simple, straightforward, and good. 83
