2002 Claret: 10 Years On, A Fine Wine Long Room Dinner, 21 May

2002 yielded many first-class, beautifully structured and stylish red wines in Bordeaux, despite challenging weather conditions and a small harvest. Discover for yourself the route these wines have taken over the past decade, as our well-informed and vivacious Wine Education Specialist Anne McHale guides you through her pick of the vintage. The evening will be educational, but also devoted to decadence, as you luxuriate in the sheer refinement, complexity and elegance of these classy clarets. Vintage Champagne, a top-quality white Burgundy and the golden nectar of a Premier Cru Sauternes will top and tail the evening.
