Maria Casanovas
Gran Reserva Brut Nature Cava Macabeo-Xarel-lo-Parellada
Maria Casanovas Cava Brut Nature Gran Reserva 2002, disgorged 10/2008.
Medium gold. Aromas of dried yellow/golden fruits; apricot, mango; coconut, petrol, lime zest...complex. Mousse is moderate, a bit attenuated in glass but still lively and fine in the mouth. Flavors seem less steely than expected, given zero dosage here, likely due to slow oxidation in bottle.
Should be great with roasted salmon with zucchini (courgette), tomatoes and corn.
