Another Cava from my visit to the region last year—according to the winemaker, 2013 was a cooler, wetter vintage in the region—in the lineup we tasted, this bottle, the Reserva Brut Nature Reserva de la Familia 2013 was appreciably leaner, but also fresher in its comportment. Fennel, white peach, lime, and grapefruit pith dominate the profile, rendered more complex by toast, puff pastry and smoke, amid a torrent of bubbles. 12.0% ABV | Sample

Apparence jaune doré assez dense, comparativement au Cremant de Limoux, Clos des demoiselles bu juste avant. Nez ouvert, croustade aux pommes. Pommes à cuisson (Style Cortland). En bouche, bulles abondantes et assez volumineuses (encore comparé au Clos des demoiselles), acidité franche un peu "piquante". Un Mousseux de temps chauds, nettment hors saison en ces jours -15C ! Tout de même, une bonne valeur.

Faint aromas of orchard fruits - mostly yellow apple and pear with a little brioche. Bone dry and fine bubbles with body. Lemon and yeasty flavors make for a complex finish. Terrific value at about $15 USD.

very pale, calm, not bad. nose: very strong, loads of apples - ripe, sweet; rather full. taste: medium dry, with good balance; lemon in the finish. Could be more pearly.

Mycket bubblor, och kraftiga. Doft av äpplen och citrus i smaken. Lite mineral.

Really strong yeasty and aged lee notes. Also very reductive. Green apple, gras, very clear and presice. Can last years in a cellar.
