and impressive purity as well as elegance

Firm reduction overshadows the fruit at present

fading cherry and floral flavors matched to a moderately firm structure

An attractively fresh nose is comprised of extract of plum and dark pinot fruit that is liberally laced with floral and spice nuances that are trimmed in subtle oak hints

de Saint-Gall, Orpale Blanc de Blancs Vintage:2004 and impressive purity as wellThis is a beautifully mature Champagne, with ripe Chardonnay from the Ctes de Blancs now just hinting at toastiness. The wine's freshness is still apparent so that the balance with maturity is just right. Drink this fine wine now, but also age. Roger Voss
