Probably my favorite vintage of this wine and with the escalating prices, who knows if I will get to try another one. Light golden in color, clear with a nice mousse of lots of tiny bubbles. The nose is clean with toast, slight lemons, and minerality. It is tight to start but opens quickly. Full bodied. Crisp acidity. On the palate, there is some lemon, lemon peel, and minerality. Deep and complex. Concentrated. Long finish. This is still showing very young, but delicious. It should have no problem going another twenty years if well stored. It will work wonderfully on its own, and also with most foods. This would be a perfect foil for buttery lobster.
