Description

Banded OWC.

As I have indicated in the past, under the administration of Charles Chevalier, Lafite-Rothschild has produced a tremendous succession of historic, possibly monumental wines since 1995. The 2002 will only add to Chevalier’s illustrious resume. Forty-seven percent of the crop made it into the grand vin, a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9.5% Merlot, and 3.5% Cabernet Franc. It smells and tastes like liqueur of lead pencil intermixed with cassis and cherry jam. Opaque purple to the rim, relatively light on its feet, but super-concentrated and intense, it is reminiscent of a lighter-weight 1996, a wine that merited a perfect score. More forward than the 1996, the 2002 is extraordinarily concentrated, riveting juice that has impeccable harmony. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2038

Score: 94/96 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (149), October 2003

 

Purchased from Corney and Barrow upon commercial release and delivered to a temperature controlled London cellar where it has remained until removal by the BidforWine team in advance of this sale. Each lot is illustrated with a copy of the redacted sales invoice for that case. Duty and VAT has been paid on all wines. Date invoiced: 12th May 2003 - En Primeur.
