My last bottle and it opened amazingly after being stored at 50 for 17 years. The color is still very dark red with sediment. The nose is very mild. The palate is black fruit and mild vanilla, pyrazines, earth and resolved tannins. It is great but not getting better so drink it now as I feel this has moved past the top of the rise. It’s great and not getting better

A most excellent wine! Deep dark full body cabernet. Enticing nose followed by big complex plum and black current fruit. Super nice finish. This is a very good wine.

Just had my last bottle of the 2002 Oakville Reserve. Just yummy, rich, round and full. Still have 3 bottles of the 2001 in the cellar. Just heard that they are releasing wines again with a 2012.

As per last report beginning to disorganize- disjointed wine, enjoyed but drink up it will not last much longer.

Beginning to slightly come undone with an unstructured feel on the tongue but an enjoyable wine. Drink up.
