The wine is not very charming today. But I would like to retaste it in five years or so. 64 years old vines are promising!

Usually one of my favorite winemakers, but this bottle was a bit muddy and, unfortunately, tasted more like a blend than a Pinot Noir.

'07, probably would have liked on its own but when tasted against the Aston '07 the Hanzell came across overly ripe, sweet and less complex.

'03 heat related jamminess subsided and not cooked but did not seem like it had another 5 years in it.

Nose a bit reductive. Bing cherry, mint cola nut, flavors of herbs du provance, mint, cedar, mushroom and cedar, was hoping for more but still a wonderful piece of history
