2002 Cristal
The 2002 Cristal is among the best Champagnes I have ever tasted, and really hitting its stride these days.
Even with a few decades of age, an amazing freshness, with high acidity and an amazing texture that coats the entire palate.
Baked apples and apricot, some ginger, and of course those wonderful piecrust/brioche notes.
Good on PnP, but better with some air. Still a long life left for this wine (just not for these 2 bottles).
