Gloria Ferrer holds this vintage brut back for many years before release, to the consumer’s benefit. The ’02 is rich and complex and beautiful now, although it has years remaining to its useful life. Shows flavors of limes, raspberries, brioche, tangerine zest, vanilla, yeasty bread dough and honeysuckle. An elegant, dry bubbly of enormous charm.——S.H.(12/31/2009)—— 93
