March 5, 2024 - Must have had a bad bottle the first time around, or there was something going on with my palete This was a very nice bottle, up to Walter Hansel standards. I take it all back...but let this one breathe for a while.

January 25, 2024 - There is something wrong with this wine, and with all Walter Hansel 2020 wines. I have a ton of Hansel wines of this vintage, and I love Walter Hansel wines. At first I thought it was just a bad bottle. But every one of the 2020 Hansel Pinots has been the same. They start with a horrible astringent taste which takes a long time to go away. Perhaps if they were decanted for an hour it would be better, but right out of the bottle the taste is simply bad. Perhaps it is the smoke from the fires? Others, like Bryant, simply didn't produce a 2020 vintage.

January 24, 2023 - Not sure if it is my palate today, but too ripe for my liking, almost too sweet and alcoholic. I think I preferred the 2019 vintage by a long shot.
