Clos du Mesnil Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne Chardonnay 2002

Freshly released by krug, unsure if its commercially available at this time. Soon. Super bright bubbley briochey nutty yum. Consumed with the other 02 offerings from one of the 250 3 packs made — 8 years ago

Shafer Vineyards

Hillside Select Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Well on it's way but still needs more time. A little heat on the attack gave way to a smooth, balanced dark fruit profile of bruised plum and macerated sweet black currant with some graphite undertones. The mid-palate was certainly not hollow but the secondary characteristics are just not spilling out like a more mature vintage of the HSS will show at its best (like the '02 I had earlier this year that encompasses all the best of this maker). Hold or audoze for several hours and then decant. Still an exceptional wine that will just keep ascending and evolving. — 9 years ago

Extra Cuvée de Réserve Blanc de Blancs Brut Champagne Chardonnay 2002


Even better than the normal 02 which is in itself stunning. 100% Grand Cru. Quite toasty and
mealy nose, intense. Floral notes also, elderflower. Zip of freshness on the palate makes a remarkable combination with the toasty depth. Very fine and
slow bubbles.

@Kim Stanbro Never posted the 2001 👎. The 03/04/05/06 are very nice. The O2 is a better bottle of wine. Obviously this is just my opinion. I'm certain yours might be better than mine. Either way you're enjoying some very nice wines. Cheers to you!
