Saturday, May 2, 2015 - Dinner at Home (Our House, Hong Kong): Drank in Burgundy wine glasses after a brief opening. Lively mousse that quickly dies down to limpid, languid slow-rising streams of very tiny bubbles. Colour is very light straw-gold colour. Nose is immediate fresh, doughy brown bread straight out of the baker's oven, tons of yeast. Palate is extremely fresh and refreshing crisp green apple acidity and a nice honeysuckle and Epsom Salts then chalky end that, in turn, moves into a subdued but yet-to-be-released length and resonance on the finish. This is sophisticated, refreshing and elegant Champagne.....definitely the least evolved of any of the top 2002s that I have drank. I shall hold back the rest of my case for another year or so before checking its evolution. Impressive stuff. 92+
