  • 2002 Château Belgrave 89 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Haut-Médoc

    Attractive, lightly gravelly dark fruited nose. Touch of beef. Medium bodied, dark fruit, beefy notes, touch of smoke, nice cool fruit, firm but fine tannins, good length grippy finish. Very good indeed, drinking well, no hurry.

  • 2002 Domaine de Chevalier 86 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan

    This was quite red-fruited, leafy notes, a touch lactic. Medium bodied, lightly savoury on the palate, soft tannins, finished a touch flat. OK, but possibly not representative.

Flight 3 (2 Notes)

  • 2002 Château Rauzan-Ségla 90 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux

    This shows red and black berry fruit, florality and a touch of mineral around the edge. It is medium bodied on the palate, with lightly savoury red fruit, a subtle gravelly undertow and a good length quite harmonious finish. Excellent.

  • 2002 Château Lagrange (St. Julien) 89 Points

    Attractive, smoky, tobaccoey nose - quite red fruited. Medium bodied, spicy red fruit, fresh acidity, not quite as exciting as the nose but still a very good St Julien.
