Deep straw in color. Lemon, green apple, honey, wet slate, yeasty, and peach. Apple, candied lemon peel, honey, and fennel on the palate. A creamy mouthfeel and nice acidity that leaves the sides of the tongue watering. A very pleasant honey that lingers on the finish once the carbonation fully clears away.

Retail $16. Free-run juice of Macabeu, Xarel·lo and Parellada. I do not have a ton of experience with Cava, particularly with Vintage Gran Reserva. Well, it is certainly not champagne (nor does it try to be), but there is a whole lot going on here: bright green apple (as in Jolly Rancher green apple) on both the nose and the palate. Look, this will not change the trajectory of your life, but it will give you some joy without killing your 401k. thedrunkencyclist.com

Krotida Wine Trip to Priorat & Barcelona; 9/29/2019-10/2/2019: Bottle no 48940 The wine shows an expressive nose, fresh citrus, some reductive notes at first and floral notes. The wine is a bit reductive in the palate too, a lot of carbonation, med body and finish. tasty

Inga noter men bedömer den här flaskan som väldigt mycket bättre ön min förra upplevelse. Fin sprödhet, bra balans, lagom mognad. Klart värt att köpa. 87-88

12.0% - Clear, med straw, tiny bubbles / clean, med to pronounced intensity - yellow apple, honey, ginger, piquant lemon, bitters / dry, med to high acidity, med to light body, med+ intensity, med length, develops a very pleasant mousse. The effervescences varies quite a lot from bottle to bottle, but the base wine is very nice and steady.

Jag övervägde att hälla ut innehållet och svor för mig själv att sluta med de här testerna av viner som inte borde falla mig på läppen. Jag hällde inte ut det utan lät det få två dygn i kylen istället med kork i och 80 % av innehållet kvar.
Efter 48 timmar är det delvis ett annat vin.
Doften ger mogna gula äpplen, "sommaräng", ljust sköljmedel, ny/fräsch linoliummatta och päronsplitt.
Smaken ger en betydligt mer balanserad, läskande och appelerande smak av blandade gula svenska frukter (plommon, päron, äpplen, söta gula krusbär).
Faktiskt riktigt gott (men ok, långt till fantastiskt). 83-84 någonting baserat på andra upplevelsen.

Pleasant, nice sparkler with a very tart apple profile almost more like a hard apple cider than a Champagne.

Høj syre. Citrus og hasselnød. Lidt bagt brød, og flot udviklet frugt. Har smidt gær/jern noten og lidt af den voldsomme syre.

Excellent balanced cava, good fruit and acid in a very drinkable package, a crowd pleaser yet sophisticated, will drink again.

Flaska 7017
Ljust gröngul i färgen som lätt omoget korn
Doftar i princip bara gröna äpplen.
Smakar i princip bara grön-röda äpplen.

God Cava, tørr, men likevel med smak - og uten gjærsmak. Brukt delvis til Aperol Spritz, litt bortkasta for denne Cava'en (men hadde ikke Prosecco).

Meget tørt. Grape, hasselnød, brød. Mangler lidt på frugten. Lidt (uheldig) gærnote.

Aromas of ripe apples and pears, in addition to some sur lie and toast aromas. Fresh and fruity on the palate.
