A very good bottle of aged Cali pinot; good depth with leathery secondary nuances and a long finish. Hanzell's a classic for a reason! Some oxidation apparent the next day, though.

Seemingly a bit past its peak, but still very nice. Just lacking a little vibrancy

Drink it now! It’s beautiful. So Burgundian. Earthy and the fruit has faded. The color is almost garnet now. Lovely with lamb chop.

No brett. Good nose but empty on the palate. Recorked for next day, but I don't expect any reward.

Hanzell dinner at Table, Donkey and Stick (Chicago, IL): Undrinkably bretty.
