VINTAGED CHAMPAGNE
A great vintage made a lot of difference when it comes to a great champagne. I had some Taittenger NV in the past, never really impressed by it. But today's lunch, I truly enjoyed this vintage 2002 champagne.
Ripe lemon and citrus alongside with some floral notes hit the nose. Palate was still laser sharp despite 14 years old, and the secondary flavor of ripe fruits and lemon starting to evolve. Good bubbles and very balanced. I urge anyone serious to keep great vintage champagne.

2002 IS A GREST CHAMPAGNE YEAR!
I always liked to drink 2002 vintage champagnes, hardly disappoints me. Even a simple vintage Taittanger was really good enough. Precision, focus, a good balance of fruits and acidity, and the beauty is that, it can still benefit from cellaring for a couple more years to hit on the optimal drinking window. So, if you have some spare bottles, drink it now or save it for the next 5 years, you won't regret it.
