Its time to drink up this vintage label as its showing it age, revealing its true profile and character, but still drinking nicely. Dark garnet colored, medium bodied, the black cherry and black berry fruits are starting to give way to black olive, leather, tobacco leaf and hints of tar and anise, with smooth soft tannins.
Not fully together on day #1 but a nice aged wine with hopes for a really good day #2. Muted but deep red fruit with substantial tannin structure for its age. It is a bit too high toned on the finish - not totally harmonious. Serious decant needed.

Still good acid. Held up well with a great steak. Mellow but spunky. Would buy again. Hall makes some great Cabs.

Still young. Nice black fruits, chocolate and cedar. In balance with nice acidity for a Napa cab.
