Shangri-La - International Pinot Noir Day (Shangri-La Singapore - The Dutch Pavilion): Instead of the usual Macabeo/Xarello blend in most Cava, this one is a blend of 85% Pinot Noir and 15% Trepat. While there is a clear burst of raspberries typical from Pinot Noir, it managed to remain trim and elegant, and also exhibiting the lemony, yeasty, nutty flavours from the Traditional Method. There is a menthol coolness on the backpalate as well. Pretty enjoyable

Atractivo cava elaborado con pinot noir. Color fresa vivo. Nariz de media intensidad, atractiva, dominada por lo matices de frutilla del bosque, roja sobre todo pero también algo de negra. Suaves recuerdos a tarta de fresa y nata. En boca tiene buen ataque, pasa cremoso, buena integración del carbónico, acidez media +, longitud media/alta, buena definición.

Nose: Light pinot noir fruit. Taste & palate: Fruity, light to medium body, decent freshness/acidity. OK quality for 35-50% of the price of basic, standard champagnes.

One night when I was on baby duty and my whife was taking care of the restaurant I went to buy some groceries and cleaning equipment for the house. Surprisingly there was a sale on some sparkling wines ... freixenet, Heidsiek Monopol, some spumante and so on... completely unexpected for this type of establishment, trust me.
The Elyssia had a promotion on ist - The best cava in the world - selling for 11 Euro - fantastic - verdict was done.
So after some time cleaning I sat down and opened this bottle - no vintage on the lable, 10.5 % alc. cool. Fridge temperature.
Fresh, shlightly yeasty nose, trace of the pinot but then more peach and lemon... Very nice mouth feeling - very desolved carbodioxide... the bubbles actually last all through to the stomach. Sex on the beach dark rose, intense colour. Nice Pinot on the palate, mouth full of cava. I am not an expert on Cava nor on champagne wines. But compared to the Piper -Sauvage rose some weeks ago defenitely the better value for money. It has got a nice easy drinking structure, slightly tannined on the tongue but not unpleasant. Full fruit, remains on the tongue for minutes.
I like it. Generously 90 Points because it feels realy good right now. I might drink the whole bottle ;-)

A very nice bottle of Cava, made from Pinot Noir. Beautiful dark rose in color. Aromas and flavors of strawberries, cucumbers, and a touch of mint. Fresh tasting, yet round and lush, too, with nice body. Worth the $18. Valentine's Day?

Earthy bouquet, featuring strong Pinot Noir markers. Great acid, interesting textural weight, nice range, well balanced. 88-89.

LE prix est décent mais c'est assez générique et simple, sans émotion.

- Pink color - My wife is not a great fan of this sparkling wine, and to be honest neither am I. It's just lacks character.

Enofusión 2013 (Including Vega Sicilia´s Macan) (IFEMA - Madrid): Horrible! Plastic nose, is this a PN based wine really?
It is time this people to learn how to make an honest cava OMG
¡Horrible! Nariz a plástico, ¿de verdad es esto un vino basado en la PN?
Ya es hora de que esta gente aprenda como hacer un cava honesto
Oh Dios Mío
