Laurent -Perrier 2002 Champagne, France

This is always one of the most readily available of the Grande Marque vintage wines, and is quite often found 'discounted' at between £30-35, which is a fair price for it really. Quite expressive nose here, with red.currant, baked apple and lemon macaroon. It's savoury and citrus-led on the palate, with slight bitterness building towards the finish in this bottle - to me this bitter/pithy elements dominate, and the palate feels a little inelegant. I must confess that I'm not 100% convinced about this bottle, as I was expecting something much more complete. Your experiences of this wine?
