2002 Ch. Lynch Bages, Pauillac

Chateau Lynch Bages, Drink now,

A classic offering posessing the weight of the 1999... this structured, tannic 2002 offers a dense ruby/purple color, medium to full body, and the tell-tale Lynch Bages black currant and earthy nose. There is good power on the attack, mid-palate and finish. It will need 2-3 years of cellaring, and should age nicely for 12-15 years. If more texture and length develop with bottle age (and they should), this wine will merit an outstanding score. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2020.

2002 Ch. Giscours, Margaux

Chateau Giscours, Drink now,

Ch. Giscours is one of the largest Margaux properties and now producing wine worthy of its Troisième Cru Classé status. Giscours was in a dire state when it was acquired by Nicholas Tari in 1952. He invested heavily and the quality of the wine improved beyond recognition. In 1995 he sold the property to Dutch businessman Eric Albada Jelgersma. Giscours produces richly aromatic wines that are surprisingly powerful on the palate, displaying ripe, black fruit with hints of cedar and new oak.

A difficult summer and September comprised the Merlot in 2002, but the Left Bank’s Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines enjoyed the Indian summer. Reaching its peak now, this Giscours has charming notes of cedar and pencil lead, with a poised, elegant palate and finish.

2002 Ch. Lafite Rothschild, Pauillac

Chateau Lafite Rothschild, Ready, but will keep,

Only 41% of Lafites production made its way into the grand vin in 2002 such is the commitment to quality here. This has an obviously classy perfumed nose with a fresh and appealing purity. This is replicated on the serious palate with its lashings of ripe strawberry and black cherry fruit, new oak and firm tannins. From a relatively restrained start the wine develops beautifully in the mouth, with smoky dark fruit and tobacco hints leading to a firm, long finish. This is a strong candidate for wine of the vintage in 2002.

2002 Ch. la Mission Haut-Brion, Pessac-Léognan

Chateau La Mission-Haut-Brion, Ready, but will keep,

Legendary winemaker Jean-Philippe Delmas produces two of Bordeaux's greatest wines: Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion. Reflecting the character of the vintage, this La Mission has much more Cabernet Sauvignon than usual (48%, with 52% Merlot) which comes through on the more structured palate. This has a classy vanilla-oak nose with mocha hints. The ripe plum and cherry fruit is as pure and concentrated as ever although the tannins are more formidable than usual making this a real vin de garde. This is arguably just as good as its illustrious stablemate in 2002. Drink 2012-2020.

2002 Ch. Latour, Pauillac

Chateau Latour, Ready, but will keep,

Latours 2002 reinforces its reputation as an iron fist in a velvet glove of a wine. A dense brooding cassis and pain-grill nose introduces a very big wine with fantastic mouth-watering flavours and a long sleek finish. The 2002 has a litheness of sweet fruit and structured tannins that differentiates it from recent vintages.

2002 Ch. Pichon-Longueville, Comtesse de Lalande, Pauillac

Chateau Pichon-Longueville Lalande, Ready, but will keep,

If Latour, Lafite and Mouton are the Kings of Pauillac, then Pichon-Lalande is the Queen. As one would expect, this is an incredibly sophisticated wine. An explosive palate of fine, ripe, plump red fruit presents itself in an immediately appealing but stylish fashion. Crisp acidity runs through the wine, from its attractive sweet attack to its long, firm finish. This exceptional Pichon will mature extremely well.

2002 Ch. Lafleur, Pomerol

Chateau Lafleur, Ready, but will keep,

"Good Colour. A bit hidden on the nose. No hard edges on the palate. Very good structure. Ripe tannins. Lots of intensity. Excellent fruit. Medium-full body. Not the blockbuster of 10 years ago but all the more elegant and complex for all that. Fine plus. From 2008."

2002 Ch. Palmer, Margaux

Chateau Palmer, Ready, but will keep,

Tasted at the Grand Vin Masterclass in January 2010 Deep garnet colour. Quite a plumy / spicy nose giving aromas of cinnamon, cloves and mace plus a whiff of sweaty saddles A hint of cedar still poking through. Nicely structured with a backbone of high acidity and a medium to firm level of fine tannins. Long savoury / gamey finish.

2002 Vieux Château Certan, Pomerol

Vieux Chateau Certan, Ready, but will keep,

Just as in 2001, the quality-obsessed Alexandre Thienpont has not included any Cabernet Sauvignon at all in his wine in 2002. Instead it contains 40% Cabernet Franc and 60% Merlot. The quality of Thienpont's wines seems to get better and better each year, and 2002 continues this trend with another exceptional example. This is all purity and class, with lovely cherry aromas and deep strawberry and plum fruit with vanilla hints on the palate. What this cerebral wine lacks in brawn it more than makes up for in elegance. Outstanding.
