90 | View from the Cellar | The Conde de Subirats Cava non-vintage Brut Rosé is made from a fifty-fifty blend of Trepat and Pinot Noir. It is from the base year of 2020 and was disgorged in November of 2022. The wine is a lovely salmon color and delivers a vibrant and stylish bouquet of rhubarb, blood orange, chalky soil tones, a hint of rye bread and a topnote of dried rose petals. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied and well-balanced, with a good core, fine soil signature, pinpoint bubbles and good length and grip on the complex and zesty finish. Fine juice. 2023-2035. Issue #103 - January/February 2023. |

90 | View from the Cellar | As I noted last year, the Conde de Subirats Cava non-vintage Brut Rosé is made from a blend of fifty percent each of Trepat and Pinot Noir. This bottle is from the base year of 2020 and was disgorged in November of 2022, so it is the same one I reported on a year ago. The wine is developing very nicely with the additional year of bottle age. It remains a lovely salmon color and now offers up a nose of desiccated strawberries, rhubarb, a good base of salty soil tones, a touch of blood orange, rose petals and a dollop of bread dough. On the palate the wine is vibrant, full- bodied and complex, with fine focus and balance, frothy mousse and a long, nicely delineated finish. Good juice and a fine value. 2024-2035.
