Jesús Barquín: Pale yellow. Relatively simple but sufficiently expressive; slightly abbocato but partly balanced by marked acidity. 85

Andrew Jefford: Bright, clear gold, with a swiftly dissipating mousse. Scents of apple with steel wool and a laundry-like, cotton-wadding richness: not as classically beguiling as some. Deep and true on the palate, though, with fine depth and Catalan richness and allusiveness of flavor: vinous, long, sustained. I love the palate; I just wish there was a little more charm on the aromatic profile. A very serious contender nonetheless, and a wine I would love to drink. 89

Andreas Larsson: Bright and quite pale appearance, with a medium-intense mousse. Fine purity on the nose, nothing tropical here, rather fresh herbs, chamomile, lime zest, and green, barely ripe fruit plus some chopped almonds. A quite slim palate, it barely makes it into the medium-bodied category, but it has flavor intensity and nice restraint, except a slight hint of sweetness, and a fresh, quite persistent finish. 87
