A ruby / garnet coloring when poured. The first initial 30 minutes revealed a wonderful aroma and flavors of cherry, raspberry along with some brambly notes. Then the wine faded fast into dried fruits, hints of raisin and some tannins that reappeared. Drink quickly!

A nice ruby / garnet coloring. Flavors and aromas of red fruit particularly cherry. A much more harmoniously balanced bottle than earlier tastings, but probably at its peak.

A bright ruby coloring. Didn't decane and bottle had a small amount of sediment. The primary aroma and flavor was that of red fruit, mostly black cherry. In addition there was a brambles flavor that disapated with time leaving a smooth glass of wine. Solid and competently made but nothing special

Good fruitiness with raspberry and a bit of strawberry. Still nice, bright color. Good mouth feel and good balance of acidity. Not overly complex, and the finish is a bit short. No reason to wait if you're holding on to these.

Bright ruby coloring; Raspberry, strawberry and red fruit (currants) flavors. A bit light and not overly complex. Probably close to being ready to drink.

Similar to 5.5.12 note except it lingered longer in the bottle. Rated slightly higher than previously.

Note to self: Drink this soon. Judging by the way the 2002 Field Blend tasted recently it's probably at or past its peak

I probably drank it a bit early, but it was awesome. A mouthful of raspberries from start to finish. I would rate it north of WS's 88 pts.
