The 2011 Leopardi Gran Reserva Brut Nature is a blend of 40% each Xarello and Macabeo and 10% each Parellada and Chardonnay matured in contact with the lees in bottle for at least 48 months. This flagship Leopardi was also the same vintage I tasted last time. The bottle I tasted had been disgorged in December 2017, extremely late. 2011 is surprising me with some wines showing much more freshness than I expected, and this is one of them. Other than that, the extended time in contact with the lees has provided more intense smoky and leesy aromas, reminiscent of bread dough, and there's also something salty, almost marine. This is very pleasant for current drinking, and it's evolving nicely in bottle. 30,000 bottles.

A hint of minerally petrol on the nose underscores notes of ripe and juicy white cherry, anise and almond biscotti on the palate. The lively mousse carries the flavor range to the clean-cut, spiced finish. Drink now through 2020. 500 cases made, 300 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Spain / Cava Select to Add
