Jesús Barquín: Pale yellow. The nose is expressive and complex, with clean toffee notes. On the palate, it is balanced and fresh, despite its obvious age and the impression of volume due to autolysis. Long. Very good. 92

Andrew Jefford: Bright mid-gold. Lots of honeycomb tang here; sweet and waxy. The hillside notes are there, too, but hidden behind that sweet front. Some fresh orange, too. Very charming and refined. Clean, pure, lively, fresh, and expressive; a little less sweet orange on the palate than the nose, and rather more dry grassiness. Complete and elegant wine, which retains freshness. 88

Andreas Larsson: Light golden color, quite fine bubbles. The nose has some evolution, mixing yellow fruit with vanilla, butter, a hint of toast, and dry spices. The palate has a good grip and is truly dry and salivating, with a good sense of freshness and a well-integrated mousse adding some roundness. Quite a long finish. Good development and approaching complexity. 88
