I'm so used to Lafarge overdelivering vintage after vintage that this was a bit of a letdown. The texture and primary/secondary characteristics you'd expect. But the secondary aromas were not as appealing as they usually are. I'll put it down to bottle variation.

Lifted, showing great like the rest of the vintage flight. Very good power. 93

Very good to excellent showing, very much in its secondary zone. At once muscular for Volnay but also a touch of elegance. Expressive and concentrated dark red fruits with good complex, savory spices. Tannins still present but mostly resolved. Good breadth and resonance on the finish.

2002 Beaune and Volnay Premier Crus (San Francisco): Light ruby core with gentle gradation. A really odd combination of ripe fruit and a disconcertingly dominant garlicky/peppery stink that did not go away. Better on the palate, but still all soil and tannin without fruit to support flesh. This had gorgeous fruit and none of these off notes the only other time I tried it 10 years ago, so I have to think that this bottle was defective.
