(93-96)/2026+

doesn't look to be 11 years old

A brooding and backward nose is presently revealing little save for glimpses of red and blue berry fruit aromas though the rich

with restrained tannins and no rough edges

violet and discreet herbal tea nuances slides into the supple lighter weight flavors that are a bit more elegant than usual

Charles Heidsieck, Blanc des Millenaires Brut Size:3x750ml (93-96)/2026+The 2004 Blanc des Millenaires offers a striking combination of freshness and the complexity that develops in bottle. Lemon confit, white flowers, mint and white pepper lend aromatic brilliance to this lithe, super finessed Blanc des Blancs. I have long adored the 2004s from the Ctes des Blancs. The Blanc des Millenaires is another terrific example that shows just how good the best wines of the year are. Antonio Galloni
