Jesús Barquín: Pale yellow. Serious attack, with varietal character (Xarel·lo?) despite a note of ripe grapes that adds complexity and volume to the palate. This plumpness becomes increasingly noticeable towards the end. 86

Andrew Jefford: Bright mid-gold with a fine mousse. Lovely nose, and very different from its peers: lemonfresh, with a brioche richness; honeysuckle and balsam. On the palate, too, this is a graceful, fresh, lifted Cava of great charm. The dissolved mousse lasts well, the flavors are pure, refined, lemon, herbal, and long. The balance and finishing dryness are perfect: It has a relaxed, accessible style. Outstanding purity and limpidity here. 92

Andreas Larsson: Light golden nuance with vivid, quite small bubbles. Intense and assertive nose, very vinous style, probably with some oak influence and controlled oxidation, white flower, yellow stone-fruit, hazelnut, and a slight hint of toast emanate from the glass. The palate has good grip, good weight, and good proportions, refreshing and zesty, with abundant fruit, wellintegrated and creamy mousse, well-endowed finish with both complexity and persistence, doubtlessly with a potential for aging but darn delicious already. 94
