October 14, 2022 - Light color. Briskly effervescent. Nose is definitely cava to me and had notes of apples, pears, and touch of pie crust. On the palate, however, it was a different animal and hints of Champagne with a touch of toast on the finish. I prefer this far more than the 2019 Rimarts Cava Brut Nature Reserva 18. While I wouldn't go as far as Jon Rimmerman and say that this drinks like a southern Avize champagne, it is like a cava and a Veuve-Clicquot had a love child. I'd say it's good for seafood, sushi, or anything smoked. A touch thinner and with more golden apple hints than champagne and more toast in the finish than most cava. Tame at 11.5% so have a second bottle ready. 😉
