The second time I had this wine, I liked it much more. With no great expectation it came with charming citrus-y notes and delicate bubbles. Not very complex but with enough character to be pleasing.

Nice yellow color, surprisingly advanced maturation for a vintage blanc de blanc. Rather coarse on the bubbles than finesse. Drinkable and nice sip, but at this price I would expect it to rival champagne NV cuvees but this here is far from that.

Maybe it's too young at this stage, but lacking the kind of complexity to seriously challenge champagnes. That said, it is better than most cavas out there. Lots of pear, citrus, a hint of honey at the end. Decent persistence. Works well as a refreshing palate cleanser.

Holiday Spanish Wines 2014; 7/4/2014-7/21/2014: A proper cava rather than poor man's champagne, with large bubbles that soon disappeared to leave just a bit of sherbety spritz. Mild tasting, dough-like, with an undertow of liquorice. Enjoyable. It grew on me.

Evolved and delicious. Went OK with some rich baked pasta. Finishes slightly short but other than that is a good dinner wine.
