Just alright. Tasty, but feels tired.

On one hand, 2002 is such a weird vintage. This is showing secondary clove/bitter chocolate notes on the palate, but the nose is gorgeous fresh Franc florals & spicy red plums. I do think a non-Parkerized choice like this one is a best bet for most 2002 bottles.

Cinnamon, nutmeg on the nose - slight earthiness but not typical of what I would expect from others in St Emillion at this price point...some vegetation with a short finish...wouldn't buy again, past its prime.

Quite old but hanging on valiantly despite a crumbly cork. It seems mature but not plummy or over the hill at all, so I’m not sure this was ever anything special but is perfectly decent and inoffensive now. I just wish I opened it a long time ago; mighta had some fruit. Today, it’s just kinda there.

A bit young. Not a bold as anticipated. Perfectly adequate.
