  May 18, 2014 - Wine Spectator Grand Tasting Event (Washington, DC)
  
  Again, not a fan of 2010 Cabernets but Hall's signature bottling is evidence that great wines were made. I tasted this one after the BV Georges De LaTour which was the high water mark for the evening so it's likely underrated here.
  
  This lacked some of the depth that I have tasted in prior vintages which may be due to the vintage. However, it still possesses laser-like cabernet focus and an extended finish. In the glass the wine is a full bodied and has a beautiful nose of dark black and blue fruit that stays true on the palate. The front, mid and rear palate are all fully engaged with good acidity, soft sweetness and balanced tannin that make this a fund one to drink. My guess is that this wine will age quite well and warrant a much better score in later years. Cheers!
