Jesús Barquín: Pale yellow ma non troppo. On the nose, there are annoying lactic notes that follow on to the palate and make it saturating, despite the marked acidity. 83

Andrew Jefford: Bright gold with a fine, sustained mousse. Lots of cream, lemon, and almond here, with less dry grass and fennel than many of its peers. Very classy and seamless. Lovely white flowers: a cascade of hawthorn. Bright, poised, elegant, flowery, and seductive: rounded ripe acidity gives the wine freshness and shape; the mousse is enduring and fine beaded; and it has length and vinosity, as well as plenty of aromatic finesse. Outstanding Cava. 90

Andreas Larsson: Young and bright, with a light golden nuance. Open and generous nose, more on the fruity side with a hint of tropical fruit such as pineapple and ripe apricot with vanilla and a hint of creaminess. The palate is quite fleshy and opulent; it delivers instant gratification but offers a nice dose of freshness as well. It has a certain maturity and vinous/autolytic qualities; good grip and length—it actually wins me over more and more. 90
