Juvé y Camps 2008 Brut Nature Gran Reserva Reserva de la Familia Sparkling (Cava)

Country: Spain / Brut Nature Gran Reserva Reserva de la Familia
Variety: Sparkling Blend Catalonia
Winery: Juvé y Camps / Cava

Normally I’m a fan of Juvé y Camps. This bottling is bland on the nose, with a cleaning-solution aroma. The palate is foamy in feel and short in flavor, with a strange blend of bitter lettuce, brine and green herbs. Frankly, it’s not up to par, a possible reflection of the below-average 2008 vintage.
