Tim Atkin: Light straw. Strange nose of rhubarb and pink grapefruit. Tastes quite rhubarb-like, too, with very high acidity, sour, rather dilute. Enamel-challenging levels of acidity, with insufficient fruit for balance. Tart finish 11

Jesús Barquín: Straw yellow, with golden hues. Very warm and exuberant, with a background of canned peach syrup that I do not favor at all. Lacks punch for my taste, as well as character 13

Simon Field: Odd, rather lactic nose; there are hints of pineapple and quince; the palate is soft and approachable but perhaps lacks a little of the sense of place that has been evident elsewhere 12
