  Bottle seemed somewhat past due on opening. Somm recommended decanting - actually double decanting. Followed through but the wine never seemed to develop. Could be the bottle, could be the age or storage (cool wine cellar around 60 F), or something else. Just seemed different than previously enjoyed. Withheld rating (90) as this should not influence score. This is a fantastic wine and Hall does it right!

  This is a very nice wine. Still lots of tannin structure and great black fruit. It's in a good place but I think I might have preferred it a little younger. The alcohol is high here (15.6%) and it might have been a better balance for me if the tannins were a little chewier here but that's personal preference. Definitely enjoyed the wine.

  PnP. I should have decanted this one for at least one hour as I think it would have brought out more layers in the wine. Next time...

  Deep ruby color. Pronounced aromas of blackberry, blueberry, herbs. Medium acidity and tannins. Pronounced flavors of jammy dark fruit and dried herbs. Long finish. This is a really big, jammy, extracted cab.
  
  On night two, this wine was much less jammy, and more balanced and integrated than on the first night.
  
  90 points on night 1; 92 on night 2. A good example on the benefits of decanting.

  Delicious and deep, decanted for 30 minutes and drank nicely but definitely needs food.
