Initially tasted as "pop n' pour" and rated 93, I tasted this again with 24 hours of air and it has improved remarkably...!!
Beautifully balanced with everything in place now and plenty in reserve this deserves a 95-rating.
Great wine!!

'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.
