Tasting - Dibon Cava Brut Reserve


The Vintage Cellar, 2/28/13
Name:  Dibon Cava Brut Reserve
Variety:  45% Macabeo, 25% Xarel-lo, 30% Parellada
Region:  Penedes  
Country:  Spain
Year:  NV
Price:  $9.95
Public Review:  "Light gold with plenty of bubbles, this wine has aromas of apples and pears with pleasant floral notes.  Crisp and light-bodied on the palate, stone fruit flavors are accompanied by a mild minerality and balanced acidity.  A delicious sparkler for a great price!""         
My Review:  Smells like champagne.  Very sparkly -- almost too much!  Overwhelms the fruity flavor.     
With food?:  No, although I had eaten a granola bar about 10 minutes beforehand.  
Did buy?:  No
