A luminous, golden celadon color. Fine bubbles for a gentle effervescence. Light mineral impressions are followed by subtle floral notes of fern and wild rose which leads to delicately fruity aromas of dry apricot and sultana raisins. This attractive mature wine reveals its elegant charm with a bouquet of sweet nougat, milk caramel and mint. The attack is fresh and youthful and is rapidly followed by a sensation of fullness. Notes of Mediterranean dried fruit, such as fig, are intertwined with elegant touches of Virginia tobacco and leather. The wine has a refreshing finish with a smooth hint of milky tea flavored with bergamot.

Piper-Heidsieck is an has always been one of my favorites, I have been fortunate to enjoy some fine vintage years, 1987 being my favorite. This holds up just as well. Light, crisp, effervescence..the fruits leave that refreshing after taste that makes you want to open another bottle. I would hold it against any of the heavier tasting Dom P.'s This you can enjoy with a dinner as well as sitting by the fire place with a loved one.
