Jesús Barquín: Pale yellow. A first bottle is heavily perfumed,almost cloying, but a second bottle shows abeautiful wine, creamy, with excellent acidity:very lively. 90

Andrew Jefford: Pale to mid-gold, with a fine mousse. Ratherdull and lifeless aromas compared to the best ofits vintage peers. On the palate, it is a little bitbrutal and forceful, lacking charm and intricacy,though it certainly has Catalan character. 80

Andreas Larsson: Light golden nuance with a fine mousse.A quite perfumed nose, with sweet yellow fruit,candied citrus, orange zest, and nougat. Mediumweight palate, with protruding extract, quitelaid-back fruit, candied and sweet fruit flavors, butstill rather dry. A decent effort but not with thecomplexity of the best examples. 86
