May 2022 Disgorgement. Light and small to medium sized bubbles. Very light nose - citrus oil, minerals, a bit of rubber band. After a bit, I get a fresh wet grass note on the nose. Light bodied, tart, and easy drinking. Palate of lemons, limes, underripe nectarines/peaches, seashells, and a bit of yeast. Medium-short finish starts off with tart nectarine skin and peach pit and then shifts to a spiced lime, seashell, and saline leaving the palate refreshed.

For $15, this is a pretty good value. (391 views)

Nothing really wrong with the wine but not very exciting either. Fine for brunch or similar occasions. Not as good as the Mercat Brut. (373 views)

Made some seafood paella and this was a great match. The bubbles were fine and cut through the spicy and smoky paprika, while complementing the shellfish with citrus notes and tart green apple. Great length, the tiniest amount of sweetness. Golden raspberries and white flowers on the nose. Superb for the price! (908 views)

disgorged 02/18. Almost exact same blend as Raventos i Blanc's de Nit, but more fruity and rich, and maybe ultimately more flavorful. All that is expertly balanced by some austerity and non-fruit/yeast/mineral notes. Confidant and classy. 88-89 (996 views)

my second bottle of this wine, disgorged 3/17, same as my first, but from a different online retailer. On both nose and palate there's a really strong dried spice (coriander? black cardamom?) presence that makes me think of Indian curry. Pretty off-putting to me. Maybe a flawed bottle.

also noticed the DO sticker indicates it's regular Cava instead of Reserva, but according to importer this spends 18 months on lees.

have two bottles from this retailer (wine.com) and the second one smells and tastes the same. Both flawed i think. (1403 views)
