Jesús Barquín: Pale yellow. Pleasant, floral nose. Suggestive. Although apparently a brut, the sweetness is unobtrusive and contributing a general impression of balance. Only at the end does it show a tad abbocato. 88

Andrew Jefford: Pale gold with a fine mousse. Soft and attractive scents, with some complexity if you are prepared to root around and search them out. Fundamentally sweet aromas: dessert apple and dried peach. On the palate, this is an older Cava of great charm and intricacy: cascading sweet fruits but plenty of aromatic complexity to foil them and lend them nobility. Sumptuous and refined. Wonderfully ripe acidity in which the fruit spectrum (apple, plum, whitecurrant, peach, nectarine) spins. It all finishes with sweet precision and poise. 89

Andreas Larsson: Medium-deep golden, with some evolution and a finely melted mousse. The nose is intense, with floral, fruity, and spicy notes of saffron, yellow plum, butter, and some vinous/autolytic hints. Quite broad on the palate, with well-preserved freshness. There’s a phenolic presence but nothing bitter; rather good extract, with hints of lemon zest and a long convincing finish. Good drinkability, with the aromatic complexity from aging but the freshness of youth. 89
