Kicks off with a bold narrative of baked Gouda, soon mellowing down to unveil a flirtatious array of yellow fruits, toasted brioche, honeycomb, shells, and citrus, subtly escorted by Jerez notes. Almost full-bodied, it flaunts a flashy, textural demeanor. The play between a sharp acidity and ripe fruitiness, adorned with a precise mousse, keeps me engaged. The finale, a long evolving aftertaste, flaunts delicate strokes of Jerez, baked apples, honeycomb, and oil, making the Charles Heidsieck encounter nothing short of a lavish soirée.
