Medium large and medium lazy bubbles. Medium and developing nose with pear, grapefruit, bread dough, yeast and rubber. Medium taste of pear, grapefruit and bread dough. Medium (-) long and dry finish. Medium acidity. Medium body. An acceptable Cava Nature that feels very yeasty. You’ll find better buys out there. Drink now. Goes well as an aperitif.

White - Sparkling	NV Castellblanch Cava Brut Extra Macabeo-Xarello-Parellada Blend more	Options Post a Comment View Oenecnist's profile Report Issue 12/20/2019 - Oenecnist wrote: NR Bought several for 6/b about 10 years ago from a local gourmet grocer; this may be the last one. Tight cork and plenty of effervescence; ample bubbles lasted through the last pour. Medium gold; nuttiness, some mature white tree fruit on the nose that follows on the palate, good mouthfeel; some persistence. A good pairing with mild white fish (baked). I know that darker color in white wines arouses suspicion (sometimes justifiably), but I encourage an open mind: this was delicious and full of life. I wish we had more. Stored horizontally, first, in a cool, dark basement and then in a basement locker in a condo since purchase. My evaluation: For me, scores on a "100-point scale" are misleading. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. This is notable+ when considering quality, age, and price.

On the nose some dark and red berries. Medium bodied, dry, rather refreshing, showing good flavors of dark and red fruit/berries carried by firm acidity. Good basic cava.

Or something for sushi. Or a good appetizer. Or... Look, it's just a forgettable, boring wine with barely any taste, and certainly without anything you could remember it by.

Lively bubble action, a toasted/burnt note on the nose, apple juice and caramalised pears. Decent for the price point but nothing extra ordinary. Will try the seco at the same price.

Not suitable for storage. Fresh and the sweetness appears first if the glass remains as long as the bubbles disappear, it is then noticeable that the wine has 21 grams sugar per liter Do you find this review helpful?

White - Sparkling	NV Castellblanch Cava Reserva Brut Nature Dos Lustros Macabeo-Xarello-Parellada Blend more	Options Post a Comment View avp's profile Report Issue 4/2/2012 - avp wrote: NR A nose of pistacchio, lime, apple, butter, vanilla, hazelnut and a little touch of ammonia. Dry and crispy palate with some salty vibes, grapefruity bitterness and a cooling mid-sized moussé. Quite refreshing golden apple with greener nuances, some lime zest and lemongrass. Mid-length (+) leesy and minerally finish. Actually quite nice stuff from a producer known here almost solely for its overly commercial secos and semi secos. Do you find this review helpful?
