1996 Cuvée Belle Epoque, Perrier-Jouët
Clear, bright mid-lemon appearance here with some viscosity. The nose captures a floral, fragrant, fruity character with background notes of creamy white chocolate and gentle vanilla. The palate offers creamy, nutty fruit with great harmony and a fine mouthfeel. This possesses serious drive with a lively acidity underscoring the palate and a great deal of finesse to match. One to hold onto – plenty of potential here.
