Pearl of Burgundy gala dinner: Similar to the 1997 Bollinger LGA but more complexity instead of just being one-dimensionally oxidative. A little understated so couldn't discern much at the end of the tasting.

not blind In good shape, powerful, balanced, not too oxidative. After that the Krug 2002 shows more elegance but a great wine for food. No hurry to drink it. 94-95

SAC: 2002 Retrospective: One of the ones I was really excited about. Love this producer. Wasn't disappointed. This is a straight up quality wine.

7 hours upon opening serving into Zalto Burgundy glass (“Root” day): Medium golden to the eyes.
Mature stone fruits like apricots, florals and spices.
Superbly well integrated.
94-95 points.
