Vintage information 2002:

A very good result - for both red and white wines - saved by good harvest weather conditions that concentrated the juice in the grapes.
Reds and whites are clean with good acidity, and perhaps a step lower concentration than the great 99's, but these 2002's were fantastic drinking from the first day - the reds today are more angular and acid-forward, they really need time.
Some worry about p.ox is already surfacing in whites...

2002 Comte Liger-Belair, Vosne-Romanée Aux ReignotsNov. 2004
Whilst less forward than the 2003 Reignots, the nose shows a distinct family resemblance. Not just a beautiful depth to the fruit but also width too. It’s ripe fruit is very tightly wound and really needs an hour or two in a decanter. Slowly develops a nice coffee note. Very, very good.
