ON THE EYE: RADIANT In the bright, deep gold hues, vivid yet discreet bubbles weave an attractive effervescence. ON THE NOSE: HEADY An initial plump scent of plants, dried fern and humus, is followed by a sensuous truffle fragrance and the floral overtones of figs and dates. The core is characterised by warm notes of ripe grains, refreshed by verbena. ON THE PALATE: SOPHISTICATED The velvety texture of cocoa beans and mocha gives way to more powerful notes of dried fruit, hazelnuts and dried currants. The aromas of plants and herbs, peppered with hints of eucalyptus, is combined with the delicious scents of sandalwood and incense. The final harmonies of tobacco, truffle and “old library” unfurl in an extraordinary freshness and aristocratic roundness, even 30 years after bottling. RARE MILLÉSIME 1988 HEADY Rare Millésime 1988 is a generous and heady wine. Its “coziness” demands that the wine be savoured like a great cognac. Given its enticing, welcoming sophistication, it offers incredible ageing potential. FOOD PAIRING Line Caught Turbot, creamy sauce Aged Parmesan cheese Accompanied with cigar
