Jesús Barquín: Very pale. Very expressive and seductive nose warm, inviting. Good mouthfeel, expressive and long, with good acidity and contained alcohol. Very good already and, given its balanced structure, even better future. 89
Andrew Jefford: Pale yellow. Richly oaky scents over green lime fruit. Vivid, relatively lean flavors, but with plenty of drive and push. A sound effort which would work well at table. 85
Richard Mayson: Pale straw; almost Burgundian on the nose, with integrated lightly toasted oak over well ripenedfruit; crisp and zesty initially on the palate, very fresh and showing signs that this might age rather well in bottle, with a lovely savory toast and butter finish. This has length, as well as panache and style! 88
