Color: pale gold with golden highlights and a fine, persistent mousse. Nose: expressive, with ripe apple, pear and lightly candied citrus. With aeration, notes of brioche, toasted bread, hazelnut and a delicate honeyed touch emerge. Palate: broad and creamy on the attack, with a delicate, perfectly integrated mousse. Beautiful maturity balanced by freshness. Stone fruits, dried fruits and fine pastry notes lead to a long, lightly toasted finish. Comment: a successful vintage.
