2002 vintage. At 34 in Mayfair. Medium lemon gold hue. On the nose, medium concentration of ripe lemon, exotic fruits (roasted pineapple) and crushed stone minerality. Honeyed. On the palate, medium acidity, smooth and textured, medium alcohol, medium plus concentration and medium finish. Some oxidation and nutty honeyed notes on the mid palate. Mature but decent. Drink now. Unlikely to improve with further ageing. 90 points.
