Freixenet - Cava

• April 2013

  Being a huge fan of the Rex Cab (as a "great-value, lots-of-bang-for-your-buck" wine) and mildly fond of their Merlot and Pinot Noir, I was hoping that their Sauvignon Blanc would be of comparable quality ... but all I can say is, "Bleah." Harsh, burning, and nearly flavorless, with next to nothing in the bouquet -- not at all like the Rex reds.... Read More

  Semi-Dry Cava Carta Nevada 1999

  Snoothrank:

  Pineapple and spice greet the nose along with a just a hint of a yeasty underlay. Round and smooth on entry, with a fairly sweet flavor profile that recalls peach syrup and honeycomb with a hint of chalky mint underneath. Theres plenty of balancing acidity here, but the wine does remain sweet and simple on the fruit driven, ripe pineapple-laden ... Read More

  Freixenet Carta Nevada Brut Spain Cataluna Cava 1987

  Snoothrank:

  Earthy apple core, floral and dried citrus aromas with a hint of caramel. Mousse is a little coarse but this does show off fairly rich, apple and sweet citrus flavors in a fruity style that takes advantage of the residual sugar to create a smooth mouthfeel without being obviously sweet, though the sugar lingers a bit on the finish. 85pts Read More

  Freixenet Brut Cordon Negro Cava Selection NV

  Snoothrank:

  Mineral and earth driven on the nose with linden flower, honey and candied lime aromas. Fairly light on the palate in a fresh, crisp style that showcases earthy flavors with hints of yeast, mushroom, apple and lemon pith. A fairly dry style with decent length and a nice dry snap on the finish. 86pts Read More

  Pouco frutado no nariz (menos que o esperado). Adstringente. Não muito fácil de tomar sozinho, talvez com alguma fruta critica junto fique melhor. Read More
