Community Tasting Notes 5

    November 11, 2017 - Bouquet expressif de complexité moyenne. Un vin de corps léger mais de bon volume, les bulles sont assez fines mais un poil trop nombreuses à l'ouverture, la carafe est de mise. Très bonne fraicheur, c'est net, bien sec et la légère amertume en finale apporte un peu d'allonge. Difficile de demander plus pour le prix, c'est très bon. 87-88

    November 8, 2017 - Bodegues Sumarroca SL, Brut Nature, Gran Reserva, DO Cava, Catalonia [Catalunya], Spain, 2012
    12%
    Cuvée van parellada (38 %), xarel.lo (35 %), macabeo (27 %) (or with a small amount of Chardonnay ?).
    Opvoeding: méthode traditionnelle
    Elke druivensoort wordt afzonderlijk met de hand geoogst, zodat de druiven optimaal rijp zijn.
    Dan in een gekoelde, pneumatische pers, die de druiven zeer behoedzaam perst.
    Eerste fermentatie duurt 18 dagen in roestvrijstalen tanks op 14°C.
    Daarna werden de drie (4 ?) druivensoorten geassembleerd, licht gefilterd en gestabiliseerd.
    De Brut Nature heeft geen dosage and second fermentation in the bottle
    De wijn rijpte dan nog minimaal 36 dagen op de fles.
    28-10-2017:
    Brut, royaal goede zuren, maar wel wat simpel, wel beetje nasmaak/lengte.
    Mousse heel fijn, maar toch ietsje ruw icm. de vele zuren.
    Wat weinig tanninen/bitters en fruit, beetje geel fruit.
    Smaakt als inderdaad een redelijk goede cava of prosecco, maar mist diepgang van bv. een (wel wat duurdere) champagne of sprakling van Riesling.
    31-10-2017
    Nu beter, niet veel fruit, maar wel meer goede tannines en bitters en wat onrijpe, groene tonen.
    01-11-2017 op
    Idem.
    Maybe it will get better if you keep it for another 2 or 3 years.
    For € 12,95 QPR=7.5
    S=85 R=7.5(13) like 11/8/17

    May 21, 2017 - Pale lemon colour. The nose shows medium intensity aromas of green apple, lemon peel, cookies, brioche and rye bread.

    It is dry in the mouth with a medium+ refreshing acidity. It has a medium alcohol and a medium body with a creamy mousse. It has medium+ intensity flavours and a medium+ finish.

    It is a very good quality wine. It shows complexity provided by autolysis, and the acidity is in balance with the flavour concentration. The finish is persistent, but in a better example of this style it would be longer, and it would show more aromatic complexity as well.

    November 5, 2016 - pale golden colour; fat, rare,fast bubbles. great. nose: bone dry, mineral with rocky scents plus some bread notes and lemon. taste: dry but with nicely rounded finish; lemon, apples on the palate plus some silicon. Well done.

    September 2, 2016 - Enjoyed this one at the crowded "Cerveseria Catalana". Bone dry with moderate sized bubbles - a good match to some oily sea food tapas.
