Tasting - Dibon Cava Brut Reserve

Name:  Dibon Cava Brut Reserve 
Variety: 45% Macabeo, 25% Xarel-lo, 30% Parellada
Region: Penedes 
Country:  Spain
Year:  NV
Price: $9.95  
 
Shop Review: Light gold with plenty of bubbles, this wine has aromas of apples and pears with pleasant floral notes. Crisp and light-bodied on the palate, stone fruit flavors are accompanied by a mild minerality and balanced acidity. A delicious sparkler for a great price (Vintage Cellar).

My Review: The Dibon Cava had a strong nose of pears with hints of banana. When tasting it, I was caught off guard by just how strong the bubbles were. I almost felt as though my tounge had been burned. I noticed that the palate was very similar to the nose of this which was surprising to me. I feel as though most of the wines that I have tasted have very different palates compared to their aromas.
