[Refers to previous vintage] - 89 Points - "The 2007 Brut Exclusive makes use of 15% Chardonnay in the blend in addition to the three traditional varieties of the Cava region and spent a lengthy 42 months (for this price category) on lees. It exhibits a refined nose of mineral, biscuit, baking spices, and white flowers leading to a wine with excellent acidity, plenty of forward, dry fruit, and a lengthy finish. Drink this excellent value over the next 1-2 years. The Marques de Gelida Cavas are made by Vins El Cep." -The Wine Advocate.
