Jesús Barquín: Very pale yellow. Pleasant marzipan notes, with fine vinosity. Dry, long, clean, and balanced. Remarkable sparkling wine. This bodes well for today’s tasting. [This was wine no. 1.] 88

Andrew Jefford: Bright silver-gold; sustained mousse. Clean, fresh, floral nose; a touch of honey and banana. Fresh, bright, and attractive. Crisp, bright, and rather brittle on the palate: incisive and edgy, with bright acidity, but lacks a little fruit resonance and the general shyness of the central palate means that the bitter finishing notes are perhaps over-prominent. Presumably very early-picked? Nonetheless, this is still a well-crafted Cava in determined apéritif style. 84

Andreas Larsson: Pale and youthful appearance. A youthful and quite discreet nose, displaying almonds, some white flower and a slight toastiness. A good dry sensation on the palate, balanced freshness, some extract or balanced bitterness appearing as citrus zest, rather lightweight but good persistence, quite long and lingering. Nicely restrained in the positive sense of the word, and more fruitiness and generosity emerges on the finish. 88
