Jesús Barquín: Amber. Amontillado of intermediate age and good balance between biological and oxidative aging—perhaps a little more emphasis on the latter. Fresh and sufficiently long. Noteworthy. 15.5

Andrew Jefford: Light walnut brown. Agreeably casky, bodega-like scents, but not an aromatic profile of any great refinement. On the palate, this is long, dry, vivid, and resonant, as it should be, with a faintly saline edge, which makes me think of Sanlúcar or Puerto. Sound stuff; good Amontillado. 14

Richard Mayson: Mid-amber, with a slight green tinge; soft, savory toasted aromas, lightly roasted almonds, with a hint of gunsmoke; fine, delicate and sinewy, some depth and texture, deliciously savory, almost saline on the finish; elegant and refined yet quite complex. 17.5
