Unlike the bottle from 6 months ago, today the 2002 Mortet Lavaux sings like the best of 2002s ever. 6 months of time or just bottle variation. Can’t wait to open the next bottle to find out.

2nd of 10, decanted an hour, perfect level, cork quarter stained, unchanged from first bottle noted in detail in December 22, youthful upside, lovely lift, even greater complexity to develop, 10+ years. VF (18.5) and with grand cru authority!

Top 1ers for AK's birthday: Dense, brooding dark fruit. Powerful, but not as elegant as the last time I had this or the ‘96 Champeaux alongside. Slightly too ripe and glossy with cherry liquor notes that was almost new-world like.

Very fruit dominant and cloying like a napa pinot. too much fruit, not enough fresh acidity and sous bois here. Prefer his 2000, by a big margin. A 2002 vintage miss, a real disappointment for me. It is showing all primary so perhaps there is upside in time.
