TN: 2013 Louis Roederer Champagne Cristal Brut (France, Champagne)

You better! Since I drank the 2002 with you, which you supplied, I would hope this has some weight/immediacy to go buy ASAP!

Charlie,

Your note made me want to check in on this again, so a few nights ago I opened another bottle and it was even better than the one in September. I have nothing to add to your note as you nailed it.

While I was drinking the last glass, I got a text from a local wine buddy of mine who said he needed a great bottle of Champagne and asked for a recommendation. I suggested the Cristal and he asked how it compared to ‘12 DP and I said the Cristal is much better. He stopped by the following day and picked up a bottle, drank it that night and he loved it too.
