Jesús Barquín: Pale gold. Ripe, even jammy, nose, with a sulfur hint on the nose. The palate confirms this impression, lacking finesse, overoaked. 79
Andrew Jefford: A more firmly stated yellow-gold than most. A little coconutty and mushy, with must-like fruit; little class that I can see. Hard on the palate, alas, with low concentration and a fruit void. 75
Richard Mayson: Mid-straw in color; bruised apples, perhaps a bit oxidized on the nose; similarly bruised mid palate,though finishes quite well with a crisper apple-peel character. 76
