Rather underwhelming for the price - a common issue, for me at least, with Patz and Hall. Wine was initially closed, harsh, and bitter. It improved markedly after it had been open for about 90-120 mins. In a dumb phase? Reasonable acidity, ample red and black fruits. But not exactly complex or particularly interesting - rather generic, in all dimensions, but at a price point where one can find very good PNs.

Medium weight with good acidity. Dark cherries and spices mingle nicely with a good base of minerality. Balanced and elegant. A total turn on to enjoy with pecan encrusted trout.

Very little body. Light. Probably past it’s prime.

Better than previous bottle. Reasonable balance, not too alcoholic, esp. enjoyable on the nose. Classic CA PN, if a bit big and cumbersome.
