BUY THE WINE

Jesús Barquín: Very pale. The nose is marked by oak, and so is the palate. A wine that seems underfruited rather than overoaked. 84

Andrew Jefford: Clear gold. Teasing vegetal charm here, with cream and seeds behind. A warm plastic note as well, too, which disconcerts a little. Structured and sound, but on the palate it is quite hard to find a lot of charm; an excessively neutral wine. 77

Richard Mayson: Fresh, clean apple and pear character on the nose, also reflected on the palate and offset by a hint of toasty oak on the finish. Balanced and quite attractive. 84
