It is certainly greater than any other 2002 sweet white bordeaux I remember tasting, with the strongly possible exception of Climens, but is almost spookily open for a recently-bottled read more...Yquem. There's the merest hint of astringency on the finish still but this wine could be enjoyed in its relatively simple youth.    (hide)
