a few nights ago we had a $55. 2004 herve' dubois blanc de blancs, and thought it delicious but too young. tonight we had this cava and could not drink it. i called the lady at the top quality spanish wine store nearby and asked for a cava recommendation, but was told this is a high quality house. oops.
apparently i am not a cava person, but if you like what i mentioned liking earlier, you might be forewarned. even my wife, whon generally compliments most things out of politeness, hated this.
if you already bought yours, the only moment this was drinkable was when we chilled it in the freezer literally until ice floes formed in it.
and this cost $30, for that i could have had a perrier jouet, at least in atlanta.

Nice easy bubbly of yeast, dried apple, tight bubbles, slight toasty/breadiness. Short tasty finish.

Smell is toasty with a rustic side note. Nose is similar to smell taste has loads of minerals and a yeasty finnish.
