Tasting - Freixenet Cava Cordon Negro Extra Dry

Name: Freixenet Cava Cordon Negro Extra Dry
Variety: Macabeo, Xarel-lo, and Parellada
Region: Catalonia
Country: Spain
Year: NV
Price: $8

Winery Review: A dry sparkling wine that whispers just a hint of sweetness, Cordon Negro Brut Extra Dry pleases a variety of palates. Earthy, fruity, and blessed with peach, melon and candied citrus essence, this cava leads up to a long, smooth finale of intoxicating flavors and aromas.

My Review: The aromas of this wine are pretty earthly. I'm getting smells of leather, peach, apricot with a little citrus. The bubbles in this wine were just so overpowering. It is super dry with little to no sweetness. I'm getting very little melon and citrus notes but is it just not enjoyable at all. This wine gets a big pass from me.
