Soft, supple but with underlying intensity. Color deceivingly light for its age but the ripe 2002 fruit is lush and elegant. Creamy and very well balanced so very easy to drink. Loved by all and bottles in this condition will easily go another decade.

Very good showing. Some mature notes now, but still fresh. The fruit is rich and ripe but there is good acidity and minerality. A graceful and lovely, if not terrifically complex wine.

Close to his peak. Typical BdB, some toast, nuts and honey, but still fresh, not too evolved. 92-93
