A SUPERB COLLECTION OF 2002 BORDEAUX FOR LAYING DOWN
Lying in Gloucestershire at Christie's (Octavian)
Offered duty-paid, but available in bond
Offered in original wooden cases
Lots 355 to 464
The 2002 vintage provides an opportunity for anyone thinking of starting a bordeaux cellar.
The vintage produced some extremely good, generally sensibly priced, wines that will repay keeping. In 2002 the very best wines come from the left bank (Médoc and Graves), particularly the finest Pauillacs. The First Growths remain good value and anyone looking to put some high end, high quality Bordeaux into their cellar should take this opportunity to fill their boots
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 2002
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting note: A brilliant offering and a candidate for wine of the vintage, this is classic Lafite that reminded me somewhat of the 1976, although the vintage conditions were completely different. This is a medium-weight, quintessentially elegant style of Lafite with notes of lead pencil shavings/graphite along with black currants, plums, and crushed rocks/mineral. Wonderfully pure, dense, with a deep ruby/purple color and loads of fruit, definition, and a long finish, this is a brilliant, elegant Lafite Rothschild that builds incrementally in the mouth and has more power and density than it initially seems. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2025.
