10 years on its lees. Nice pressure when opening, very pale gold in colour, toasted nut, cream patisserie, lemon oil, very fine bubbles in the mouth, nougat, some caramel, good freshness and a very long and lingering finish. Super

Amount of CO2 diminished with time. Bubbles small and persistent. Color light yellow. Still feels young. White fruit, brioche. Sharp acidity, very dry, mineral on palate. Long aftertaste.

my first sparkling wine where the cork showed zero thrust when opened. But bubbles were fine and don't think the bottle is off in any way.
actually not that Champagne-like, and remind me more of some Loire Chenin based sparkling wine. Substantial and vinous but nimble, even if acidity is not particularly high. Very mature but not the yeasty monster I suspected from the crazy 10 years sur lie aging. Minerality does seem to come through in an impactful almost mouth-drying way, but ultimately fruit takes center stage. It could be me romanticizing the idea of a top of the line Cava (the lavish packaging didn't help), but I'm left hoping for something more special and convincing. 91-92+

Color oro muy elegante. Burbuja suave, se nota la larga crianza. En nariz es muy varietal, dulzón, terrreo-mineral y fruta blanca. En boca todavía tiene buena acidez y una burbuja persistente, notas de maderas nobles y astringencia marcada. Muy, muy bueno.

Golden color, delicate bubbles. Aromatic, with minerality. Good acidity. Very long aftertaste.
