Gorgeous. A mag from cellar. Resolved yet alive. Lemon fruit with limestone a touch salinity with great persistence and length. Fantastic stuff — 2 months ago
A bit off. Or going into a different stage of development not to my liking. — a month ago
Deeper more intense colour , narrow more terracotta rim . This is quite restrained with a meaty , herbal element at first . Touch of earthy tobacco and dried spice . Menthol and anise notes also . This has nice anise, liquorice hints on the palate with darker fruit, dark cherry , red plum , touch of earthy , iron notes with some spice and smoky hints . Black tea stained finish . Good acidity with refined tannin. Quite good intensity and persistence on the finish . Drink now and over the next 3-5 years — 5 months ago

Exceptional. 02 is rocking. Along with 96, my favorite vintage for Champagne. — 9 hours ago
