Parés Baltà Cava Brut

Light gold color with fine bubbles. Not very intense on the palate, it still shows lemon notes with limestone minerality and green apples flavors. Good acidity level and length that brings up the rather thin mid palate. Not very complex, but fresh with an high drinkability level ! Among the best bubbly in that price range. Good+ (88)

Made of Parellada (58%), Macabeo (25%), Xarel·lo (17%). First fermentation in stainless tnaks then second fermentation in bottle following the traditional method. Aged up to 18 months in bottle before release. Alcohol level of 11,5%

Cosme Palacio Rioja 2011

Dark red cherry color. Nose where oak leads the way with aromas of coffee, vanilla, caramel and spices notes. More expressive with air. Quite harsh at first on the palate at bottle opening, air will be of a good use here too. Then flavors of blueberries, mulberries, spices, cappuccino and vanilla. Good acidity level and ended with a silky mouthfeel. Long and tasty finish. Good+ (88)

Made of Tempranillo. Aged 13 months in new oak barrels, then 9 months in bottle prior to being released. Alcohol level of 14%

Available at the SAQ for 18,85$ (Code SAQ :  00237834)
