That Was Cava?

We drank an interesting cava yesterday - the Brut Nature from 1+1=3, which I got from the Champagne Warehouse. We've had this before and really liked it with food because of the complexity of its flavour. I didn't really get as much of a chance to appreciate it last time, though, because we had guests and I was concentrating on cooking. This time, I got to focus on and properly admire the cava - starting with its goat cheese scent, a grassy, creamy, slightly smoky aroma. This carried through into the flavour with the creaminess balanced by a grapefruit acidity. This cava wasn't like the sterotypical cava, it was much fuller and more challenging to the palate. I still think it's not a light sipper, definitely a 'go-with-food' wine.
