  Not too sure about this one. I would say that 89.6 average CT rating is probably right on the money, although I'd say that this is probably closer to an 88 than a 90. I would definitely say that the nose is extremely inviting. The entry of strawberry and some kind of young banana also here, and this one really does have a nice "pucker" effect from start to finish. However, the wine is rather short on the finish, and leaves kind of a strange aftertaste. This one was almost selected as a Thanksgiving wine, but curiosity got the best of me. And, when you have an hour or so to spare and want some private time, this is a decent 12%-er that is a nice, easy drinker.

  Liked very much as it compares favorably to higher priced Champagne. Refreshing, light on it's feet, but still substantial in texture.

  We shared this with friends who came over for tapas on 5/28/16. It had a rich, fragrant bouquet of pear, apple, bread, citrus, cream and almond aromas. The palate was smooth, and rich with flavors of pear, apple, orange peel, almond and minerals.

  Occasional dinner group: A mixed set.. (By FN): Beautiful cava with some minerals, mild citrus, licorice, ripe yellow fruits and apples. Very clean wine with some length. No more notes.

  Spanish wines #1001: Fresh and clean. Some DP like herbal notes, peppermint. Bigger accidity that L'Origan. Finish a bit tart and a bit cloying on the finish. Quite good anyway.
