Domaine des Lambrays Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2002
Good deep red. Expressive, evolving aromas of raspberry, mocha, spices and balsamic cedar and earth. Sweet, creamy and concentrated, offering a seamless texture to its captivating flavors of cassis, spices and smoky minerality. Showing some tertiary aromas but this wine has a powerful tannic structure to support an extended plane of peak drinkability. Finishes with a wild leesy nuance, superb breadth and length, and an unexpected light touch. Stephen Tanzer, Vinous Media

Good medium red; not particularly saturated but with a healthy rim. Alluringly scented, wild-yet-somehow-refined aromas of musky raspberry, strawberry, rose petal, brown spices, cedar, underbrush and coffee; this smells sweet! Silky, stylish and weightless, showing lovely stemmy definition and lift to its flavors of wild red berries, mocha and dried flowers. Not a particularly dense or fleshy style but an alluring, vibrant drink that's perfect right now. In fact, in spite of its intense fruit component this wine may only thin out from here. This subtle, elegant Clos des Lambrays finishes with a firm dusting of tannins and a light touch. (13.7% alcohol; 3.59 pH; 3.5 g/l acidity) (Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, April 2019)

Like many '02s, this is drinking well right now with quite a mouthful of fruit, but still the pretty aromatics you would expect from Lambrays. Secondary notes of spice and mushrooms are present, but not to the depth of a fully mature Burg. Check back again over the next decade and beyond...
