A nice nose but a bit hollow and shrill on the midpalate. Disappointing.

07' Hanzell Pinot Noir. I waited a few years before opening my first bottle. Knowing these wines need time in the bottle. When I did several years ago, it wasn't quite ready. A little to tart & tannic at the time.

The fruit has made an appearance. Big RIPE- cherries, cedar, black tea, black licorice. Middle and back palate only. Light acidity still to it. Drinking now. Slightly disappointed.
