Tasting notes
The 2002 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru is one of the finest releases of the decade. It immediately seduces with its cornucopia of red cherry and crushed strawberry aromas, scents of wilted rose petal and a light ferrous note. This is supremely well focused. The medium-bodied, beautifully proportioned palate delivers gentle grip, fine depth and filigreed tannins. There is a slight pepperiness from the whole-bunch addition toward the finish, which feels harmonious and poised. As the wine opens in the glass, it seems to gain weight and substance, turning almost “punchy” on the finish. Superb. Tasted at the Clos Saint-Denis vertical at Hide restaurant.

Medium red. Complex, scented aromas of briary raspberry, rose petal, truffle and marzipan. A silky, youthful, energetic midweight with a firm edge of acidity to its red berry and olive tapenade flavors. Not yet hugely expansive but gained in sweetness and verve as it opened in the glass. Has the firm tannic spine to evolve positively for at least another five years--and probably more.
