BUY THE WINE

Jesús Barquín: Pale yellow. Complex nose of ripe grapes and a spicy note more evident on the palate, with a hint of vanilla. 85

Andrew Jefford: Clear bright gold, with a languid mousse. Lovely aromas of honeysuckle and honeycomb and freshly baked lemon tart: very pretty and beguiling. On the palate, this is a rather drier wine than the aromas suggested, but broad with it, and it also retains lots of the wildflower aromatic complexity of the nose. Lovely saline notes on the end, too. A fine, poised Cava of real intricacy, purity, terroir-print, and depth. 90

Andreas Larsson: Clear and limpid, with a light golden hue. Quite intense and ripe on the nose, which displays tropical fruit—pineapple, mango—with herbaceous notes of lemongrass, mint, and a gentle toastiness. The palate feels quite light in terms of fruit, and the acidity feels marked, but the finish is somehow lacking? A lot up front, but a slightly feeble finish. 82
