I’ve got a few 2002s lined-up for a look in the coming year and I’ll give the first of them a go this weekend - note to follow - but overall it was the first of several relatively lean years for buying for me. My preconception before we start is that 2002 will be much more mixed than 2001 was. I haven’t delved into my 2002 red Burgundies very much so far, but I’ll open a few this year to see where we’re up to and I’m expecting some good (lighter) wines. In other areas from which I buy it was a terrible year - Southern Rhone a flooded disaster and Northern Rhone not much better. Piedmont also had a terrible year for weather. I have nothing left from any of these.
Last year’s 2001 thread gathered loads of interesting notes from lots of different places - I’ll be surprised if there’s half as many notes on 2002s, but feel free to prove me wrong.
