Tasted from bottle at Mark Walford's annual lunch at Waterside Inn. I have never been totally convinced by Alexandre Thienpont's 2002. Here it has a fragrant, earthy, foursquare bouquet whose infant opulence has ebbed in recent years. Indeed, it has turned rather conservative with quite dry tannins, nicely balanced with a touch of piquancy on the finish. There are far superior VCC's in this decade. Tasted May 2013.
