I also tasted the same vintage of the top of the range as I did the previous time, the 2008 Ex Vite Brut, which is also a Gran Reserva and a Cava de Paraje, the new site-specific category. It's a blend of 70% Xarello and 30% Macabeo from their older (and best) organically farmed vineyards in Les Flandes, with vines planted 70 years ago now. Part of the wine aged in oak barrel, so it provided a faint smoky and toasted character. It also matured in bottle for no less than 90 months and was adjusted with a few grams of sugar. I don't think this is generating extra complexity in bottle; it is developed, balsamic and yeasty with a slight bitterness in the finish. I wonder how this would be without the added sugar... I tasted one bottle disgorged in October 2017 from the 3,200 they produced.
