In stock at Forsyth and onlineonly 33 bottles available
2002 Piper Heidsieck Rare...$155.99 net per bottle
A powerhouse, with verve to the finely cut, racy acidity, showing a sense of finesse and seamless integration of the firm frame. The silky texture carries layer upon layer of toasted brioche, currant and pear pâte de fruit flavors, with notes of grated ginger and coconut, cappuccino foam and spun honey. Mineral accents of smoke, ground spice and fleur de sel build on the long, echoing finish. Drink now through 2032. 1,000 cases imported. –AN
Rated 97/100 The Wine Spectator
