The youthful edges have softened in this wine, but it's still got a long, happy life ahead of it. Opened four hours before serving but not decanted. Translucent cherry color.

Disappointing. Hints of VA faded to find a thin shadow of Vougeot. Lacked any concentration or complexity, definitely not GC level. Really not even a good village pinot. Another "all or nothing" red Burg from the 02 vintage...not a fan.

Brooding. Cherry, funk and stiff. Old school Faiveley. Still firm. Deep and tight. One of the few unfriendly 2002s I have tasted. 90
