  Decent in early '18, but on the whole a bit thin - rather dry and dusty. Probably would perk up with food. I don't recall if it had this character on release or if it's the result of age. Regardless, it's almost certainly not getting any better, so drink up.

  Initially disappointing for the producer and price (thinnish, stemmy and sour finish). With time and food, it fleshed out (very Burgundian in a positive way) to be a very decent PN. Savory, with red berry fruit but not fruit forward, good dusty, boysenberry finish. I'd drink it now with some air.

  Fantastic as a braising element for short rib stew. For drinking?...not so much. Irredeemably sour with a lack of depth. Far too expensive for what you get out of this bottle. The style that defines Hirsch- lean, Burgundian, doesn’t work for the lower bottling. In this regard, it IS truly Burgundian.

  With about 45 minutes in the glass, this opened up to be an okay if very basic PN. But it was extremely tight and not giving me anything at all upon PnP.

  Raspberry, red berries, and herbs on the nose. Medium-high acidity with more red fruit on the palate. Medium finish.
