Haven't tried this wine for almost 5 years. Very good, noticeable bricking in color. The cork didn't make the pull, so I had to push it down and strain it. The fruit is still there and it is drinking nicely in it's 17th year.

Garnet color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of tar, black cherries and black berries. Flavors of black berries, black cherries and minerals. Medium acidity, medium tannin, full bodied. Drink or hold. I'd lean towards drink now.

Classic Hanzell, but showing its age as of today. Noticeable bricking, fruit is there but on the downward trajectory. Not holding up as well as the slightly older vintages, but still excellent. These bottles however should probably be drunk no later than early 2023.

last bottle. Smooth as silk with significant browning. Definitely getting tired.
