Jesús Barquín: Pale yellow. A hint of oxidation on the nose gives it character, but it wants substance (aromas and flavors) to reach further complexity. 86

Andrew Jefford: Looks very youthful: almost green-gold. Quite taut, tight, nutty aromas: restrained but promising, and a sense that there is more time ahead of it, and it has more to give. Very taut and fine-drawn on the palate, too. I wonder if this hasn’t been picked just a little too early? On the plus side, it is wonderfully pristine for a 2007 and certainly has plenty of time ahead of it. It’s a true Catalan, even though there are other wines with a much richer level of allusion. 88

Andreas Larsson: Still rather youthful color, less than golden, with a small stream of bubbles. The nose is intense and roasted, with pistachio, hazelnuts, citrus, and barely ripe stone fruit, quite vinous, mineral, and tempting. On the palate, there’s good focus and restraint, yet with flavor intensity, good dryness, and bite; long and lingering. A really pretty drink now. 92
