La Cuvée Gran Reserva Brut Cava Macabeo-Xarel-lo-Parellada

See my notes on the 2011. The 2015 here has more pears and is slightly sweeter, otherwise the review still stands.

Note a ton of nose on this glass. Bright red apple skins, like a red delicious. A bit of citrus, sweet clementines.

If you don't know Gramona you should

Toasted brioche, red apple and ripe pears

great value

Gran Reserva 2011: ripe and rich and bold. Red apples, ripe peach, biscuity, toasty. Medium bodied and very soft, smooth with a fine light mousse. Minerally, biscuity, bready. One for the cheeseboard.

Briochy

16/20 (88/100) Аромат спелой груши, цедры лимона и полыни с бензольными нотами. Не очень плотное со свежей кислотностью. Приятное игристое.
