November 19, 2016 - Surprisingly good -- better than my last bottle. Too bad it was the last one.
The wine looks garnet colored. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like red currant. -

September 16, 2016 - Earth and goat-y notes to the nose. A very stone-y expression on the nose. A little band-aid aroma and that follows very quietly to the palate. Very mineral and a little grassy/sous-bois, but still very fresh and even less evolved than the 1999 Chardonnay. Very much a Burg express, as opposed to CA. Again, still 3+ years ahead of fine drankin'.

December 6, 2014 - Annual Tasting Group Holiday Party (La Belle Vie, Mpls): Medium dark red color. Small pour. Mint, red fruits, medium plus body, firm tannins, a bit syrupy, spiced.

December 6, 2014 - This was an interesting pour alongside a 91 Echez. Normally I wouldn't think of Hanzell as a big wine but this definitely showed more richness and meat on the bone than the side by side '91 Burg. Very enjoyable. I detect a bit a bit of brown sugar creeping in which makes me think this should be drank up within next year or so. That said, I only recently acquired this and can't attest to its provenance. The btl and cork were pristine though.
