This drank incredibly well tonight. Popped and poured. Well integrated and graceful. Not youthful but certainly not a hint of being over the hill. Typically flavor profiles I’ve come to expect from Hartford just toned down and incredibly easy to drink. 7 years old and singing. Well done Hartford!

Popped and poured. Consumed over 2 hours. This was very good upon pouring and slowly started closing down after about an hour. By the 2 hour mark in had closed down substantially and the tannins were much more prevalent. Should have decanted as the last few notes suggested. I have a few more bottles and will likely wait a few more years before my next bottle. Seems like there is potential for improvement here with more time.

Opened and poured. It’s showing well. Got a little better with air. Plenty of fruit.
