Steven Mirassou's Bordeaux blend has some of the best qualities of 2011: lifted, aromatic, varietal character and a backbone of acidity and minerality that will age for 20+. — 10 years ago
2002 Dom Perignon (DP) does not have the great backbone of fierce acidity of '96 or '04, but it does have great ripe, exotic fruit aromatics that many other 2002 Champagnes display, since it was generally a hot, dry year. '02 DP is drinking great now, so have fun! — 11 years ago

Neck fill and cork tight and sweet sounding when you pull it. You almost can tell if a bottle will be good by how the cork comes out. Juicy still with dark cranberry notes, pure of fruit and melted tannins and acid backbone. Love it as not sure how these 75's would have aged. — 10 years ago
