Jesús Barquín: Pale yellow. Different, with pharmaceutical and oak notes that may suggest some obscure local variety (during the tasting we are informedonly about the presence of foreign varieties, nothing else is made known) or oak aging. This confers character, but I am not sure it is a character I appreciate. The result is a little saturating. 83

Andrew Jefford: Mid-gold, with a swiftly dissipating mousse. Yeasty, almost malty scents, like a whisky wort; different from its peers but not unpleasant.The flavors are slightly strange and overly vegetal. It’s not a bad wine, and indeed it may just be an excess of Catalan allusiveness that is giving me pause. I would enjoy drinking it but feel that it is less successful in the end than many of its peers. 81

Andreas Larsson: Pale straw color. Rather shy nose, with candied fruit, a hint of rubber, and some lactic notes like butter. Light on the palate, with a certain astringency, mild and rounded acidity. It appears a bit angular and charmless to me at the moment, and rather short on the finish as well. 79
