2004 Piper Hiedsieck Brut Vintage

Bright straw. High-pitched and precise on the nose, displaying scents of candied citrus, jasmine, chalky minerals and quinine. Dry, nervy, incisive citrus and orchard fruit flavors show very good clarity and pick up a spicy quality with air. Finishes bright and linear, with impressive thrust and resonating florality. This taut Champagne appears to be built for the long haul.
