Tasted blind at Philip's February Christmas Party

I am still very pleased that a chance was taken on this bottle and I look forward to either trying it at a bar or hunting it down at the right price this year

Philipponnat Clos des Goisses Brut - 1999 (750ml) Size:750ml complemented by a subtle oakiness(1999 vintage) "This famed single vineyard on its steep slope above Mareuil sur A produces a warm, always elegant wine. This 1999 is softer than some vintages, while still having a power and texture to go with fruit that is now maturing, giving a yeasty final character. Drink now, or age another few years."
