Codorniu - Pinot Noir


A revelation. I was fearing the worst but it was highly enjoyable. Shades of the sparkling Langedocian Cabernet Sauvignon we had at the cheese evening in Harrogate. Really dry, crisp fruit with a clean finish that lends its self to rapid swigging! By far the best Cava I've ever had and, in terms of balance, it would give many pink champagnes a run for their money at a third of their price.

Leon Beyer Sylvander 2009


Excessive acidity on the finish with very little discernible fruit of any kind. Is this typical for Sylvander? Poor value at 8 quid (WS).
