Lily - of - the - valley perfume and scents of lightly toasted brioche and almond

rise from the glass of Moet’s 2004 Brut Dom Perignon, along with hints of the

apricot, pear and grapefruit that then inform a luscious and creamy yet strikingly

delicate as well as consummately refreshing palate. Sweet - saline savor of scallop

– also already intimated in the nose – lends compulsive saliva - inducement

to a ravishingly rarified and persistent finish, joined by alkaline, nutty, liquid

- floral, and nori seaweed notes for a performance of head - scratching subtlety

and intrigue. (In case my description hasn’t already made clear, we have here

inter alia a fantastic sushi wine.) /RP /Nov2013
