Served side-by-side with the '01. The '02 had held up better, bit more of a purple fruit core. Still, past peak as the wine was not very integrated. Drink now.

Last bottle of the 02, consistent with prior notes. This bottle was opened and drank over about 3 hours. Started to fade after 2 hours - hard to say if it was just this bottle, others were consumed faster.
Drink now

Consistent with prior notes, still drinking well. Cloudy and a bit of sediment. With the remnants of an awesome Thanksgiving - nothing better... not the ideal paring but still good...
Black cherry, cedar, blackberry, plum. Still drinking well, mellowed and pleasant. Drink now.

Pop & pour, paired with roast chicken and squash. Great, mature Bordeaux blend from Walla Walla. Black cherry pie, just a touch of sweetness, and quite complex. Cedar, earth, and asian spice showing through. Still has some time left too...

This bottle had more life than I expected, nice surprise. Last bottle was a few years ago, this wine had been neglected in my cellar. Probably past it's peak but still very nice.
Dark purple color, a little cloudy. Floral nose, some anise. Alcohol blew off in about 15 minutes. Dark fruits, blackberry, chocolate, some spice, and plum. Medium finish, some Smoke and cedar on the finish.
Still great wine, especially for the price I paid at the time
