  2002 Bordeaux 20 years on tasting (Fribourg): 2002 Bordeaux 20 years on tasting. Key takeaways: 1/ 31 out of 32 wines were in flawless condition which indicates either luck or less bottle variation in the vintage, 2/ On average still early days with the fruit predominantly primary, 3/ solid hedonistic quality with only few laggards, but also no blow-outs, 4/ structures built on both tannin and acidity, but common mid-palate weakness, 5/ best wines were Valandrau, Palmer and a surprise underdog Lagrange (all 95), 6/ biggest disappointment was a cooked Figeac (87). More comments and full list of wines included in the tasting story.
  
  Tasting note:
  Black coffee, red and blue berry fruit, just hints of sous-bois and mineral notes. A juicy palate with vibrant acidity but also with mouthcoating, grippy tannin.

  First Petrus, half a glass a the WFFT annual auction last night. A touch closed, it was very smooth with plum, currant, herb and leather.

  AAP lunch (Jackson Room): Rich and lush. Excellent effort from an unimpressive vintage.

  restrained nose, very seemless on the palate with fine tannins. a very feminine wine, subtle tobacco and plum. can't imagine this will improve much with cellaring.

  Pétrus vs. Le Pin - Matchplay 1996-2002 - with pirates (Fribourg): Tasted blind. Nose of cherry with a touch of wood. Very good entry on the palate with good volume and mouth feel, slightly strong tannins.
