Major pass for me. I agree with the sourdough yeast coming through with some citrus squeezed on top. Very yeasty on the palate too - not an easy bubbly to drink. I've had much better at half the price.

Wow, so much funk on this, it turned my stomach just catching the aroma. Hard to explain, even, since it was something that I have not yet experienced in the world of wine. An incredibly autolytic nose on this wine, with bread dough front and center, with some bitter lemon and minerals playing second fiddle. For me, this was like the liver of bubbly - the visceral reaction I had to liver as a child is the same reaction I had to this Cava. Not to my liking at all.

Very citrus and a bit astringent, with some cake taste. Actually liked it much better the second day -- citrus, a bit sweet, with some minerality.

Very simple. My sister-in-law described it as "bubbly church wine." Not exactly sure what that means, but no one found this special or memorable.
