Jesús Barquín: Onionskin pink. After a first bottle plaguedby unpleasant green notes, a second one showsmuch better. The wine is complex, clean, andenjoyable, with a pleasant vinous character. 88

Andrew Jefford: Bottle 1: A deep orange-pink in color, with avery languid mousse, which dissipates speedily.Rather unattractive aromas of damp cardboard,ash, and earth. No evident fruit or sweet charm.Unpleasantly ashy, foxy flavors. I would struggleto drink this, I’m afraid, though it is technically awell-made sparkling wine with a sound mousse.It’s hard to avoid the conclusion that the varietiesaren’t right here. Bottle 2: This to me is a verydifferent wine; the color is redder, and the nose,while not particularly fruity, doesn’t have theinsistent ash quality of the first bottle; nor, on thepalate, does it have the unpleasantly ashy flavors.It’s clean, fresh, bright, relatively neutral in style,but drinkable. My score is for bottle 2. 80

Andreas Larsson: Rather deep rosé color, with an orange rimand youthful mousse. The nose is fruit-forwardand generous, with sweet red berries, cherry, andgrape, appearing quite ripe. The palate, however,feels more restrained, with barely ripe fruit, greencitrus, cranberry, and a marked acidity. Quiteyoung, with a foamy mousse, and a moderatelylong and light finish, seeming a bit green andunripe. 80
