This remains relatively youthful and fresh with an expressive if maturing nose of green apple, citrus and floral notes. Big, powerful and muscular medium-weight plus flavors possess a really lovely texture thanks to the abundance of dry extract before culminating in a wonderfully persistent finish that really fans out as it sits on the palate. The '02 Corton-Charlemagne is a great wine in every respect and one that is approaching its apogee. Still, it is so close that you wouldn't be leaving much upside on the table to enjoy it now. Consistent notes.
