First encounter with Hsing. Philly cheesesteak. Beautiful nose of sage dark fruits violets. Lively texture. Almost old world. Turns out to be part of series AA and old bottle of it’s kind but with other vineyards. — a day ago
The nose is different than a Cabernet Savignon but the mouth feel is velvet and the finish smooth. There is some cassis with leather and dark fruit. — 2 days ago
Almost overwhelmingly mineral, displaying the smoky campfire embers and rich loamy scents I associate with Walla Walla, along with sandalwood and very sappy cherry-ooze fruit. Dark and minerally on the palate: very low-toned flavors fill the mouth. Fair amount of medium-soft tannin, and a very long, low acid finish that has an echo of port-like fruit and the very tail end. Very complex and idiosyncratic wine. — 19 days ago
Heavy. Tannic. Structured. Unforgiving out of the bottle but then opened up after about 2 hours of airtime and tail end of dinner. Still a big boy. — 3 days ago

When you tell your wife to open anything I’ll be back from the store. She picks the inaugural vintage of a 7 year vertical you have been collecting. And it’s the last bottle. PS she usually hates this wine. Shocked and saddened that it was the last but so stoked to be drinking it tonight!!! Cheers! — 8 days ago
