It was definitely very nice...and had been a gift for a speaking engagement I delivered 5 years earlier so it was a special bottle of sorts...so I don't want to sound ungrateful, but it was not as great as I had anticipated. Still bright, fresh blackberry nose. A second nosing picked up leathery notes. The palate was rather simple with fruit and leathery spice notes. Good tannins, so it's holding up well. I expected WOW! and only got "nice wine".

Big fruit, great nose, taste of cherries and a hint of bubble gum. Medium to full bodied, low tannins; a really ready to drink wine in its prime. Unfortunately it is my last 2016.

Duiaturbing fungal nose that was present on the palate. Maybe I am lucky but I have not encoutered tis before with Turley wines. Totally off-putting!

Plenty of red fruit, especially cherry, with a hint of white pepper. Smooth and flavorful, a very enjoyable Turley Zin.
