Jesús Barquín: Pale yellow ma non troppo. The nose seems a little more tired than other examples, but the mouthfeel is lively, and only the finish is slightly heavy. 89

Andrew Jefford: Mid green-gold, with little mousse now. Subtle, carefully drawn scents of powdered stone, vetiver, and hay: a quiet but very lovely aromatic profile. On the palate, this does not have the dramatic depth and density and drive of some of its peers but has wonderful aromatic complexity and depth, with billowing lifted aromas. I sometimes feel that it is in fact aromatic finesse and complexity that takes over the structuring role in these sparkling wines, which is played by acidity in Champagne, and this fine Cava would be a perfect example of that. Very seamless, pure, soft fruit beneath that aromatic cloud. Something lovely to sip, with fine “mineral” depths to support both the aromatic weave and the soft fruit. 90

Andreas Larsson: Still a youthful appearance, with a straw color but far tinier bubbles than a young Cava. Quite a tropical nose, with hints of apricot, yellow plum, saffron, almond, and some honeyed notes. It suggests sweetness on the nose; however, the palate is bone-dry and distinct, with good focus and freshness, fine extract, hanging on to the finish, which is long and lingering. Delicate fruit and charm, yet with a good amount of vinosity and complexity. A fine Cava, with fine drinkability and potential. 92
