Space limitations preclude including tasting notes. 2002 was an average vintage.
Tasted blind at Farr's Sauternes 2002 horizontal. The nose is rather closed on this Climens, which I think is going through an adolescent dumb period. Faint hints of candle wax and a hint of petrol, slight Germanic in style. The palate is medium-bodied, slightly viscous on the entry, building to a dried apricot, biscuit middle with good acidity and balance, but a linearity that keeps its feet on the ground. Touch of spice and ginger on the finish, this Sauternes is somehow more enjoyable in retrospect, as you look back upon it, than when actually imbibing it! Drink 2013-2030. Tasted October 2009.
