Jesús BarquÃn: Pale yellow. Not particularly complex on either nose or palate, but without defects anyway. Even if it is declared as brut nature, possibly a little sweet for my taste, but again that is merely personal. 83
Andrew Jefford: Bright steel-gold, almost silver-green in color, with a fine-beaded mousse. Clean appley fruits with some dry grass, milled grain, and a pinch of lavender. Clean, fresh, appley, bright; very crisp, with carefully marshaled acidity. A Cava for Champagne drinkers, but a true Cava nonetheless. 88
Andreas Larsson: Bright straw color with fine but intense bubbles. Pure nose with a discreet toastiness, some mineral presence, citrus, chamomile, and cool stone-fruit. The palate has a good grip, quite medium in body and weight, good restraint, freshness, and elegance, starting out discreetly and expanding on the finish. Quite vinous, with a nice mouthwatering freshness. Still appearing youthful but should doubtlessly develop well. 89
