  Agree with most recent tasting notes, but am not equally wowed with the result. Does this really taste like Howell Mountain? All high(er)-end Hall cabs lose their identity as they eventually intersect on their respective maturity curves. At some point, they're all delicious, but heavy, sweetish, and non-distinctive.

  Big and layered. Abundant blackberry, vanilla notes, anise seed. Finishes with a lift of fresh Bing cherry with notes of espresso/cocoa powder. A special cab that is in a great place at the moment.

  In an absolute perfect spot. Super silky. I would drink this over the next 18 months. Risk is now that it rolls over.

  Always one of Hall’s best wine. This vintage does not disappoint. Big cab, dark fruit. Decanted does 1 hour. I imagine the tannins will smooth out over time but may lose some of its fruit
