Gwen Barton rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

I would buy this for the bottle alone- it's gorgeous! However, the cava didn't disappoint. Citrus and white flowers on the nose which also make their way to the taste. Some added tropical fruit in the mouth. Wonderful effervescence - lots of zesty acidity. What a wonderful hostess gift this would make!
Melanie Aubert rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Would I spend double the money vs the regular Segura Viudas? Heck yes I would. This cava is much more complex than the regular bottle, with perhaps more stonefruit and minerality. A great buy for the holidays, especially with the ornate bottle embellishments!
Jon Steeves rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Crisp, tart, fresh and inviting. A wonderful Traditional method bubbly at an accessible price point. Tart green apple, lime zest, a hint of white petal, lees. A crowd pleaser with a bottle shouting out for attention. I enjoyed this wine with freshly shaved prosciutto. tasted Nov 2016 - @jonsteeves rated 90/100
Terry Jeans rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A great Cava, that is comparable to most champagnes, with toasty notes, lemon, and biscuity aromas. Only a fraction of the price, why would you not buy it. Good acidity and round mouthfeel, it would pair really well with many dishes or of course, on it's own at a holiday celebration.
Sharon Lécuyer rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Toasty on the nose and citrus, toasted nuts and light effervescence on the palette.
Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Don't let the gorgeous bottle make you think they're covering up for a disappointing wine. This is very nice, with pretty aromas of lemon, apple, biscuit, apricot, and minerality. The taste is smooth, toasty, and has medium-plus acidity. There's notes of apple, apricot, and a little nuttiness. A fantastic Cava, and makes a great gift as well.
Donna Hargrove rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Crisp fruit on the nose, which continues on the tongue. A hint of vanilla and almond mixes with the crisp fruit for a delicious finish.

Would pair well with light crudités or a white fish dish.
rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Delightful aromas of toasted almonds, green apple, passionfruit, lychee and honeysuckle. The bubbles dance on the tongue for a few seconds before leaving a mouthwatering tingling and sensation. A dry citrus pith finish, this wine would be the perfect wine to toast the holidays without breaking the bank.
Emilie Ryan rated this wine as 80/100 with the following review:

Presentation: Very distinctive, Medieval look. Would not look out of place in a Medieval fair.
Appearance: Pale lemon colour
Nose: Medium to pronounced intensity aromas of lemon, white grapefruit, pear, biscuit and yeast
Taste: Dry, many sharp, effervescent, small bubbles, which erupt quickly, then disappear into the ether. You are left wanting more. Tastes of lemon rind and biscuit
Finish: Medium finish of lemon rind
Overall impression: A good Cava, though not very complex. Would be good as a quick palate cleanser or for a quick toast.
Value: 2.5/5
Mike Craymer rated this wine as 92/100
Jane Staples rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Fine mousse with nose of biscuits, crushed almonds and apple. Palate repeats with richer flavours of marzipan. Long citrus marzipan finish. Cava is ultra-versatile. It works as an aperitif, for toasting or with desserts. Keep a few bottles on hand during the holidays. Terrific value in a sparkling wine and the decorative bottle makes this a lovely gift.
