An exotic hint of passion fruit coulis is layered with pastry cream, blanched almond and elderflower notes in this creamy, elegant Cava. Bright and well-meshed, with a minerally hint of smoke on the finish. Drink now through 2020. 3,000 cases made, 1,200 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Spain / Cava Select to Add

A firm backbone of acidity frames well-meshed flavors of yellow pear, anise and smoke in this balanced version, which has a crisp finish. Drink now.??–AN??Region: Spain / Cava Select to Add

Austere in style, with a smooth nose and dry, short flavors of apple and citrus. Elegant, smooth and well made, although not as exciting and flavorful as Kripta, with its unique oblong bottle and wild labeling, has the potential to be. Recall: 2002 was not a great vintage in Spain.——M.S.(11/1/2009)—— 90

I love the funky amphora-shaped bottle as much as the forward nature of the wine. Starts with a full blast of toast, which is backed by a richer butterscotch aroma. This is a cava that provides a big mouthful; the palate is dry and wheaty, while the backing flavors of cinnamon and apple are live-wire. ——M.S.(6/1/2005)—— 90
