This is my first foray into vintage Cava, and I could not help but compare it to a similarly priced champagne as we went through the bottle. As one might expect from a nearly 20 year-old wine, it is lacking a bit in sparkle, but there is also a great lemon creaminess, and a bit of nuttiness on the lingering finish. For the price ($65+)? As Marie Antoinette said: “Let them drink champagne” (or something like that). Very Good to Outstanding. thedrunkencyclist.com

A very good aged Cava. Notes of almonds & bread yeast. Very nice mouthfeel that keeps you wanting more.
