catavino reviewed Torres ViƱa Esmeralda 2003 on February 24, 2006

85% Moscatel 15% Gewurztraminer

Light golden in color. Lychee nut nose with rose petal, light keifer lime and peach. Very dry in the mouth with light rose, and a sweet biscuit flavor not unlike animal crackers, followed up by a light lime. The finish is bitter orange with some of the floweriness showing up, with a medium length. The main problem is that while the wine is tasty enough there isn't enough body to to support the myriad flavors. 3/5

catavino reviewed Freixenet Cordon Negro Cava Brut NV on February 24, 2006

Light golden in color with lots of medium sized bubbles. The nose is a musty mess with honey, apple and light nut aromas. On the palate it has a fine sparkle and is completely dry. Flavors of honey, green apple, with an lightly creamy texture. The finish is short with green apple lingering for a bit. 3/5
