February 27, 2009 - Great body weght and mouthfeel with exceptional balance. Citrus and earthy minerality. Very refreshing on the palate. Really exceptional and wishing I had more.

February 25, 2009 - Light pale 14 carat gold color. Crisp, orchid, vanilla, melon, lemon and a hint of spice scent. Medium body, well-balanced, grapefruit, green apple and mineral taste with good acidity and a long finish. Tasty, interesting and refined.

October 8, 2006 - Occasional tasting group: Top Spain (@ AW): Butter and vanilla in the bouquet, like a rich Burgundy wine. Full bodied, going through the whole mouth, a hint of sweetness, friendly soft acidity, some citrus fruit. Long aftertaste. Beautiful, but a little too young perhaps
