Codorníu Brut Cava Raventós Reserva NV
Region: Cava, Spain
Winery: Codorníu
Variety: Xarello, Macabeo, Chardonnay
Rating: 1
Color: With the cork coming out quite easily, this was almost more of a frizzante sparkler and a bit worrisome. Medium small bead with a very not robust mousse, deeper greenish yellow color.
Nose: Had definite breadiness and toast here, but also more of a dried raisin scent as well, alongside some dried lemon.
Palate: I can see what they were trying to do here, make a bready toasty and yeasty sparkling wine, with some of the acidity and lemon citrus that you'd expect from a Cava, but this seems raisiny and over the hill. I think this was released in 2007 and it clearly has not held up well. Disappointing, I can normally always count on this house.
