This is ready to drink. Nice ripe darker fruit and it still had some acidity and soft tannins. Glad it lasted so long and much preferred it to the 2001 of the same wine we also drank this evening.

Upon opening the wine showed promise with raspberry nose but little flavor. At 30 minutes the wine is open, flavorful and robust. It was an excellent accompaniment for baked salmon dinner and dessert chocolate. Three hours later it has strong vanilla notes and soft tannins still in evidence. Very enjoyable wine. Drink soon.

Decanted for over an hour. Medium body, nice fruit and tannins. Bill Hanson, assistant winemaker at Panther Creek, told us earlier last year that this was one of his favorites and was drinking real well then. We agree that it is very nice. We only have one more bottle of the 02 Bednarik.

Needed to be decanted - initially, no nose. With time, opened up nicely. Juicy, balanced palate, shows its vineyard signature well. Nice wine.

Still really good, our last bottle. Wish I liked the 2002 cuvee as well, we have lots of those bottles left.
