Jesús Barquín: Very pale. The nose is not exactly wholesome, the palate shows perceptible weight, being fat and grapey, but less fresh than others. 82
Andrew Jefford: More silver than for most of its peers. Clean, fresh, with some soft fruit of a graceful northerly orchard cast. Open and soft, with little evident concentration but an easy access, amply drinkable style. On the palate, the fruit slips into the backseat, and the secondary qualities of structure, creamy grain, and soft and supporting acidity are what you notice. Much to like here, but hard to give such an undemonstrative wine a high score. 85
Richard Mayson: Pale in color; rather thin, attenuated, and possibly a bit sulfurous on the nose—something a bit out of kilter here; reflected on the palate, stretched and dilute. Short. 72
