2002 Cristal

2002 Roederer Cristal;
Pale lemon yellow, tiny bubbles. Yet again a thin nose, some minerals and oxidized apples. Ok acidity and mousse, my fourth bottle, all excactly the same. Simple and short finish. I hope and believe it will become better, the 99 was quite like this when it was released, now it's starting to open up into something great. But I really do not understand this wine young. I cross my fingers. For now. 75

Tasted at launch in the US at Sherry Lehmans, Park Avenue.
