Jesús Barquín: Very pale yellow. Delicately fruit-driven nose, with aromas suggestive of Chardonnay. Subtle mouthfeel that is otherwise firmly structured, with correct acidity and a slightly bitter finish that contributes complexity. Another good NV wine with which to open the tasting. 89

Andrew Jefford: Pale green-gold. Some green fruits here, thickened by white flower and pounded almond… but understated; you have to go looking for these. Clean, fresh, full and creamy on the palate. It is less demonstrative and allusion-laden than the pure-Catalan examples, but some may like that, and the international variety or varieties (Chardonnay, presumably) seems to have brought added flesh and creaminess. Works well. 86

Andreas Larsson: Light golden with quite youthful bubbles, rather classic nose of green fruit, quince, pear with almond, citrus, and some herbal notes of chamomile. The palate is on the lighter side, with a certain bitterness/lemon zest, mellow acidity, rounded and accessible, with moderate length. Quite a classic profile but not with the bite or grip of the better examples. 83
