Piper Heidsieck Rare 2002 (6L)

97 Points, Alison Napjus, Wine Specator: "Impeccably balanced and silky, with finely honed acidity shaping the expansive flavors of toasted brioche, crushed blackberry, lemon preserves and honey, revealing hints of Frangelico liqueur and smoked nut. Rich and vivid, with a lasting finish. Drink now through 2027. 2,500 cases made, 125 cases imported." 11/15

94 Points, Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast: [#92 Wine Enthusiast Cellar Selections of 2012] "This is top Champagne from Piper-Heidsieck, offering the delicious airy quality that's the hallmark of this house, with crisp apple flavor, tangy acidity and the first signs of yeasty, toasty bottle age. Its fruit intensity has transformed into a splendid selection. It's worth aging for a few more years, though also delicious now." 12/12
