Vintage 2002

Written Notes

Gorgeous aromatics with hints of roses, violets and lifted flavours. This is a light, elegant vintage and from memory, a much more reserved, closed one but now it is showing beautifully.

Darker color than in 2003 Palmer! It had an incredible depth on the nose with glorious intensity and refinement, and strong aroma of blackcurrants and raspberries. This wine was very rich, strong and sophisticated on the palate with formidable balance, finesse, length, structure and aristocratic touch all over the place. It's luxurious enjoyment now and it will be like that in the next 18-25 years. For sure, this is one of top wines in this vintage.
