Last bottle of 18. Good Sparkling wine but in my opinion hasn't gained anything from being stored 5+ plus years since purchase. Best on release in 2014 (2012 disgorged).

I love this cava. Very complex, highly aromatic, with lots of mineral, brioche, roasted nuts - I could smell it all night. Dry and crisp, great with food. This should be a staple in my cellar. This was labeled Gran Reserva on the neck label

First wine of the evening at Catalunya Hong Kong with friends. Birthday Month Dinner yet again...will we survive? Straw-yellow colour on the eye with fine bubbles evident in the somewhat wider-shaped flute. We would have preferred a white Burgundy glass. The aromas, despite the glass, did not disappoint with citrus notes, brioche and butters, toasted almonds and rotten egg (in a good way). She dresses nicely and smells just as good. Date made in heaven? Yup, she is a keeper with a palate of freshness, creamy, toast, almonds and dried ripe fruits. Long lingering finish with a touch of tarty flavours. Dry as a baby's bum...before doing their business ;-). A second date clearly on the horizon! To order Champagne at a Catalunya restaurant would have been like bringing sand to the beach in Thailand...this baby more than satisfied our senses.

Excelent cava. Rich nose of stone fruits and a touch of nuts. Beautifully balanced acidity. Long mineral finish.

Autolysis. Vegetal and vanilla. Quite dry, medium acidity.
