  Bordeaux night: Another darker, lusher, and more extracted wine. The Parkerized wines also had the dried black fruit and chocolate qualities that I dislike.

  Dark colour, little browning at the edge. Solid fruit and some cigar box evident. Medium-full palate with reasonable complexity, still good acid (which receded over a couple of hours) and enough tannin to hold the structure. Good length - overall an enjoyable drink.

  One of the best 2002s I’ve had from Bordeaux. Still has lively structure, almost youthful for its age, and is the most interesting i’ve had of this wine from that vintage and also the most interesting of that vintage from Bordeaux I’ve had. In general, I’ve found plenty of 2002s just a little boring, but this is a step above that. 3 (out of 5), a good representation for what it is, enjoyable but not enough to make me think of backfilling.
