"It had been two years since I last opened a bottle of the 2002 Clos du Bourg Demi-Sec and the wine is continuing to blossom beautifully. The bouquet is deep, complex and emerging into a brilliant mĂ©lange of apple, orange peel, honeycomb, hints of fresh rosemary, a beautifully complex base of soil tones, spring flowers and still a gentle touch of the âwet woolâ character of youthful chenin. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and snappy, with great focus and balance, a superb core of fruit and outstanding grip on the very, very long and classy finish. This is a great bottle of wine that is really starting to open up well at age nine. It will drink for decades and decades, so it is hard to say that it now entering its plateau of maturity, but it . . . really is a stunner already."
