I agree with a lot of the comments about this Cava. However, I do not agree that it is good. Yes, it is quite cheap. However, I would rather pay a little more to get something a lot better. There are fine bubbles but they dissipate quickly. The nose is interesting. Slight apples, maybe some slate, toasted almonds, with maybe a little bit of lemon. On the palate, this wine is quite bitter. There is good acidity. Some apples, some underripe lemon, yeasty flavors, and maybe a hint of stone fruits. It is a quite simple wine despite the descriptors. Nothing really stands out. Kind of boring. Pass for me.
