Palate

Another difficult vintage after 1972 and 1973, as much for the quality of the wines as for the crisis in the market... This wine is still quite tannic, with a slightly dry finish. - September 2002

Growing Conditions

After a reasonable summer, the month of September was rainy and cold and did not allow the grapes to reach a good level of ripeness.

Harvest

The picking began 20th September.
