92 on opening day and 93 on day 2. Tannins completely mellowed on day 2 to reveal the blackberries and baking spices that others describe as well as some nice mocha notes. Recommend drinking within a couple years.

Big and robust. Boysenberry, blackberry, tea and clove on the palate. A bit hot with some white pepper upon opening but becomes significantly more balanced with an hour or two of air. Full bodied with long legs and a lingering finish. Maybe the most approachable of the Hall Cabernets when younger.

Rich and full bodied. Bold flavors of juicy, ripe blackberry on the palate with savory notes of bay leaf, tobacco and leather. Fine grained tannins are both drying and juicy on a lengthy finish. Drinking nicely now.

Alcohol forward as is typical with Hall, benefitted from a few hours of decanting, silky and light on tannins for a Cab.
