Dry as a bone, with petrol and green-apple aromas. The palate delivers expected apple and lemon flavors, while the finish is crisp, tangy and a touch tart. Simultaneously acidic and elegant. Classic no-sugar brut nature. Imported by Iberian Wine Importers. — M.S. (12/15/2005)

Lacatus 2003 Tempranillo (Penedès)

Best Buy

Price $8

Straightforward, with jammy red-fruit aromas. Tastes like fresh cherries and plums, with medium depth, power and length on the finish. Offers a little spice, a little fruit and a little heat. Overall it’s solid. Imported by Iberian Wine Importers. — M.S. (8/1/2005)

Lacatus NV Semi Seco White (Cava)

Price $12

Clean but quiet aromas lead to sweet flavors, predominantly candied peach, cantaloupe and dried apricot. Fairly lively in the mouth, almost to the point of being too bubbly. Overall it tastes good even if it’s jumpy. Imported by Iberian Wine Importers. — M.S. (12/15/2005)

Lacatus 2001 Tempranillo (Penedès)

Online Exclusive

Price $7

The nose kicks up some acetone, and beyond that it’s all about piercing raspberry aromas. The palate is simple and drying, mostly due to hard tannins that overwhelm the fruit. The finish, thus, is just as hard and tough to fight through. — M.S. (3/1/2004)
