Tasting at Le Cheri (Le Cheri, Philadelphia): In a really good place and an interesting contrast against an 06 Sauzet Puligny Combettes. Developing nose shows smoke, toffee, and bruised red apple. Well balanced on palate, finishes a touch thin.

This was a superb bottle. Not necessarily for the depth of the flavors, although they were not weak, but for the perfect balance. '02 is one my favorite vintage for w. Burgundy, -- a little fuller and richer than some others -- but that is my preference. I do not think this bottle has many (if any) years ahead of it. Wish I had more.

On the heavier side and showing some age, but aging very well. Darker in color. Toffee, smoke and red apple. Maybe some butterscotch. Nice finish.

Mildly oxidized but drinkable on day 1. Not optimistic for day 2.
