Jesús Barquín: Pale gold. Correct nose, maybe a tad too closed to appreciate fully. Pleasant palate, nicely balanced, crème brûlée finish. 85

Andrew Jefford: Pale gold-white. Gently creamy with a little shy orchard fruit (and some free SO2) on the nose. Gently flavored, too, with cool, fresh, light apple and green grape. This is a perfectly acceptable, light, contemporary food-supporting white Rioja, but not an adjective-detonating experience. 81

Richard Mayson: Pale straw, oaky undertones with ripe apples on the nose; very similar on the palate, ripe and creamy in style, with a shot of appley acidity on the finish. This is fresh and well balanced. 87
