WINES TASTED:
2018 Exsum El Brut Nature Vinya de Muntanya, Júlia Bernet: Smokey, tart peach, lemon zest, light toasty nuance, melted butter, ripe pear. Most fruitforward and vibrant in the lineup. A welcomed, modern style.
2017 Serral del Vell Brut Nature, Recaredo: Refined with harmony between evolution and fruit. Pear, cider apple, mature cheese, underlying saltiness, grapefruit, acaciawood, oolongtea, white smoke, strawberry with nutty finish. Elegant glass.
2016 Édicio Limitada Brut Nature, Nadal: Cheesy, raw chantarelles, walnut, forestfloor, baked quince, oxidized lemon juice yellow pear, abricot, salted lemon, orangejuice. Very much a food-wine at its peak.
2015 Leopardi Brut Nature Vinya de Muntanya, Llopart: Cherryblossom, abricot, grapefruit, light toasted sesameseed, green pear, camembert, mandarin. Fragrant with a generous fruitprofile yet a clear acidity.
2015 Sabaté i Coca Brut Nature, Josep Coca: Fresh cream, brioche, white peach, carrot, red apple, orangepeel, green strawberry, buttermilk, toasted hazelnut, passionfruit, physalis (groundcherry). A citrussy lift on palette counterbalances the toasty notes well.
2014 Clàssic Reserve 7 Anys Brut, Huguet De Can Feixes: Shows a whiff of reduction creating notes of summerrain and a chalky minerality. Pomelo, fresh cream, sweet peach, ripe pear, orangeyoughurt, red apple, rye bread. Feels a little too voluminous on palette.
2014 Ill Lustros Font de Jui Brut Nature, Gramona: Stylish and complex with preserved lemon, fennel, nutmeg, pumpkinseed, buttermilk, ripe lemon, white mold cheese, grapefruit, kumquat, sweet pear, raw ceps, almondmilk, brioche. Slight phenolic texture. By all measures a great, balanced wine. Drinking well now.
2017 Segunyola Brut Nature, Mas Candí: Expressive with notes of fresh orange, chamomile, macadamia, sourdough, earthiness, ripe apple and pear, bloodorange and nutmeg. Lifted and aromatically very harmonious. Has larger, less refined bubbles.
2016 Memòria Brut Nature, Can Descregut: Shy, but shows a pleasant precision. Mandarin, orange, toasted macadamia, almond, raw ceps, toasted bread, red grapefruit. More restraint and less volume.
2015 G Torelló Brut Nature, Gran Torelló: Rich and extroverted. Exoctic fruit, fresh butter, brown champignon, forestfloor, vanillabean, cheeserind, butterscotch, orangepeel, lemon. Palette centers around the citrus with the rest building around it.

2019 FINCA DOFI, D.O.CA. ALVARO PALACIOS
PRIORAT, SPANIEN
Elegant, fin, frisk og klassisk med meget rene aromaer og smagsnoter med kraft og koncentration. Kompleks med smag og aroma af mørk frugt, knuste nelliker, hvid peber og en smule jern. Meget fine tanniner giver en nærmest cremet og rund fylde til vinen.
