(Phillipponat "Clos de Goisses") Absolutely stunning bottle of Champagne and my favorite 1996 from the vintage so far. Exotic intense nose of golden delicious apples, spice, yeast, minerals and wonderful salinity. Palate is a huge crescendo of fruit, spice and minerality with that killer '96 acidity that extends the neverending finish. Young but mindboggling.
