This was the latest event for Luis' group. The theme was the usual "bring a very good bottle". This marked the triumphant return of Luis, for the first time since January. It was great to see everyone and have Luis back in the fold again. The wnes showed well, and we had some excellent dishes with great service as usual from Stephen Brown's team at Tilia.
2002 Cristian Senez Champagne Brut Millésimé 92 Points
France, Champagne
Lighter-medium gold color. Drank a glass over 30 minutes. There has been some variation in the maturity of these, but this might have been the best bottle to date. Much brighter fruit and character overall, still has that oxidative style, but it is bolstered by the red apple, grapefruit pith, bread dough and green apple peel. 91+ to 92pts.
