Making way for the 2008 that's just been release I presume.

The 2009 is being served on some airlines for a while.

The 2009 was release prior to the 2008. Similar to how they release the 2003 before the 2002.

Hopefully it’s nicer, the 2009 was disappointing IMO.

I agree

 

[Daver6]

I sort of agree. 2009 DP is still an excellent wine and if someone else is paying, I'll drink it. Had it a few weeks ago a the Lamonts Champagne Extravaganza in Perth. But I agree at that price point there are better options. 2008 being an excellent vintage should be stellar. I've already gone long on some 2008 champagne and plan to add a few bottles of the 2008 DP to the cellar when the price is right.

How’s the 2005 like? Can’t remember tasting it.

Was going to buy some but I see $299/bottle. Has pricing reverted already?

Cellarmasters have Pol Roger 2009 for $105. If you buy two with the OZBARGAIN code and CR + Gift Card it comes out to ~$71 per bottle. Assuming CRs pays out.

2009 not considered the greatest vintage.

And ironically not long about you could pick up the 2008 for that price. Absolute bargain.

Has anyone tried Bollinger LGA 2007? If so, thoughts or comparisons to 2005? The CM offer is tempting..

Use a discounted WISH card too, for another 5% off, which brings the per bottle price down to $27.23.

Call me a cynic, but why is that described as "luxury" champagne?

It's all relative, this is Cellarmasters, after all.
