NR - champagne dinner at Uchiko. Drank at end of night and my palate was done. Drank in a flight w/RD 2007. The 2002 was drinking much better. Topical Bolli big biscuits. Seems to be in a good drinking window, but no real hurry on other bottles.

Getting fully mature now, complex and fairly rich Pinot fruit but still plenty of freshness and energy. Stem ginger and ripe stone fruits, excellent length, really hit this in a great spot

This is now in full mature mode and a wine we have followed over the last decade almost ( Papies 92-93) . Well secondary , nice rich feel of mature and frankly feels older than it is still other 2002s. Well round, rich and toasty and for sure will draw all the right looks. 93

Pale gold colour. Fresh, saline nose and attack. Lovely sweet follow through. Love the high toned, refreshing palate. Very un bolly rd-like!

Very good champagne with a good amount of age on it. That said, missing a wow factor that I was hoping would be there.
