Jesús Barquín: Pale yellow. The nose is interesting, with a complex melange of vinous notes and a touch of subtle age. These reappear on the palate. A balanced wine with things to say. 89

Andrew Jefford: Yellow-gold, with a languid mousse. Creamy and lush, with a varnishy touch, but attractive: supple, billowing, haunting. All the dry grasses and the hillside herbs are implied, not stated. Concentrated, dry, cleanly defined, elegant, and someone is very concerned about preserving and guarding acidity here. I don’t feel it matters as much as all that—but this is very well done, as the acidity is ripe and long. There is, finally, that varnishy cast over all, which just holds back my score a bit, but this is unquestionably good Cava. 86

Andreas Larsson: Still straw rather than gold in color. The nose is rather perfumed, with notes of vanilla, dried herbs, and sweet yellow fruit. The palate has a well kept freshness, also with high extract/ phenolic presence; medium-bodied, with barely ripe stone fruit. On the finish it displays more extract than fruit, appearing slightly bitter. It might improve with age, but it feels as though it were a complicated vintage. 82
