| -Rated 95 in 2002 - Minerals can be found in the shy aromas of the 2002 Vin de Table Chavignol La Grande Cote. Produced from over 70 year-old vines, this is a wine of stupendous depth and concentration. Its dense core reveals flavors reminiscent of mineral liqueur, slate, flint, oil, pears, and spices. Hugely phenolic, this medium to full-bodied behemoth also proudly displays an amazingly long finish that is awash in liquefied stones. Projected maturity: 2006-2014. Bravo!- - Robert Parker. |
