Very good clean cork..obviously stored well. This was one of three different pinots we tasted tonight. The others were much younger Rochioli and Sea Smoke pinots. Amazingly this older Hanzell was the best in my assessment. It had much more complexity. Still great fruit for a wine that is 33 years old. Very long aftertaste. Layers of flavors. It matched the two younger wines every step of the way plus out distanced them on complexity and aftertaste...a real treat!!!

Pristine bottle. Wine was completely shot, nothing redeeming about it.

The Inaugural Butcher&Larder Dinner (Butcher&Larder, Chicago IL): nose: very mature but alive nose of dark red fruits, leather, spice tones and bits of dried berries. The nose does start to fade after a little bit
taste: medium bodied with medium acidity but a bit of a clipped finish. Balanced and lighter tones of dark red fruits, leather, and dried berries
overall: This was a nice wine, but had seen better days. It faded after about a half hour, but was fun to drink while it lasted
