In a letter to ngociants who had arranged tastings for him starting from last weekend, Parker says: Regrettably, because of the war and the wishes of my family, I must postpone until a later date my visit to Bordeaux to taste the 2002 wines. I intend to return later this year, when the world is calmer.' He continues, Know that I remain a very loyal friend of France and its wine producers.
