I would be careful with 2002 Chardonnay from the Cote des Blancs. It can be very good, but many were over-ripe. This made for sexy wines when young, but not anything that would age well or develop the complexity you might expect.

I wonder when the no-malo Ployez Jacquemart Liesse d’Harbonville and Lanson Nobles are going to be released… Think they are on 1999 and 2002 still, respectively.
Don’t know your palate, but most people I know who have not liked 96 red Burgundies have been put off by the acidity. Given that I am a German wine loving acid freak, I like a lot of 96 red Burgundies I have had.
Love acid in burgundy and I do appreciate lighter vintages like 92, 00, and 07. But with 96 reds the acidity seems out of balance in relation to the fruit.
The whites on the other hand, I love in 96.
Back to champagne. Love the 96 Krug and Salon duo.
Speaking of 2008. Is it still true that Krug will not be releasing a 2008 vintage?
