(no tasting note available)
A fine example of power married to elegance, this is impeccably balanced, with a mouthwatering palate of crème de cassis, toasted brioche, fleur de sel and crystallized honey flavors. The rich, smoky underpinning is carried on a finely detailed bead. Disgorged March 2014. Drink now through 2030. 200 cases imported. — AN (11/2015)
The 2002 Extra Brut R.D. has always been one of the more restrained wines of the vintage. Today, a year after its first disgorgement, the 2002 appears to be gently moving into a more mature stage of its life. Candied apricot, dried flowers, mint, chamomile and lightly honeyed notes are all nicely woven together, but the evolution of the 2002 R.D. stands in stark contrast to that of most of the other top wines of the year. Two bottles I tasted recently were both disappointing, especially considering the high marks I gave this wine last year. Disgorged: November 21, 2014.- Antonio Galloni (11/2015)
