Tim Atkin: Mid-straw. Nose a little plodding and pedestrian. Sweet and sour, a little simple, quite heavy. Possibly a hint of cork taint here, adding some phenolics and bitterness. High-acid finish. The second bottle is a little fresher and zestier, with crisp, lime-like notes and a citrus fruit tang. Long and linear. The score reflects the second bottle 16
Jesús Barquín: Straw yellow, with green hues. Mineral, pleasantly dry, and well delineated; a sulfur hint betrays its premature state, but one can perceive a solid structure and good potential 15
Simon Field: A demonstrative nose, with apricot, bruised apple, and wet rock evidenced. The palate has energy, a little spritz, and an uncompromising malic texture; quite a forthright opinionated example, drinking well now; a good match for oily fish or alfresco salads 17
