Tasted blind. Light straw color with vibrant bubble energy. Great nose. Notes of light citrus, some river stone, some light clay soil and a little spice. Guessed 2002 vintage but could not parse out a producer. If this base PR 2002 bottle is this good, I can’t wait to try my slumbering Winnie bottles lying in wait.

This 2009 was closed up and dimensionless in a way that it is unclear it will improve. Nose was good (honeysuckle, nuts, redfruity), but taste, including midpalate, mousse, and finish subpar. Had an -08 right after and what a difference a year makes (especially these years).

This one sure put up a good show, striding on all clusters. From a perfectly ripe primary fruit character, through a defined secondary spectrum with fresh cream, butter and nougat, reaching all the way back home with a chalky finish. Great texture, with a persistent and fine mousse and a vibrant freshness. The wine can easily age for further development, while it will provide a good experience today.
