Fine Wines from the Estate of Wilfred Yu, Toronto. Perfectly Stored in a Custom Built Wine Cellar.
2002 Louis Roederer Cristal Brut Champagne from this lot has the following scores - Vinous 100 points, Wine Spectator 100 points. This is the tasting note for 2002 Louis Roederer Cristal Brut Champagne from Robert Parker - with a score of 96. Tasted from the original 2009 disgorgement, the 2002 Cristal is a broad, vinous wine, bursting with aromas of honeyed yellow orchard fruit, warm butter, brioche and fresh peaches. On the palate, it's full-bodied, textural and mouthfilling, rendering the fine-boned chalky structure and textural finesse that distinguish this quintessentially elegant style of this cuvée in a broader-shouldered, more enveloping register. The 2002 is beginning to enter its plateau of maturity and is drinking beautifully today, though it still has many years ahead of it.
