Piper-Heidsieck Cuvée Rare Champagne Blend 2002
A powerhouse, with verve to the finely cut, racy acidity, showing a sense of finesse and seamless integration of the firm frame. The silky texture carries layer upon layer of toasted brioche, currant and pear pate de fruit flavors, with notes of grated ginger and coconut, cappuccino foam and spun honey. Mineral accents of smoke, ground spice and fleur de sel build on the long, echoing finish. Drink now through 2032. Wine Spectator

Beautiful clear pale gold color with extremely fine bubbles and excellent mousse. Wonderfully projected aromas of candied lemon, acacia, white flowers and hazelnut. On the palate there is tightly focused citrus and crisp minerality - this is one of the subtlest and most complex Champagnes I've tasted in a long time. Elegant, pristine balance with great vinosity. Powerful but equally delicate and graceful. Just beautiful,
