6/26/2023 - DaddyNeedsPow Likes this wine: 91 pointsWhat a find! I get really gorgeous candied red berries and a hint of barnyard funk on the nose, and a good tannic grip behind the fruit in the mouth. It’s been open for a few days at this point and it’s still delicious. |

8/19/2021 - DaddyNeedsPow wrote: 92 pointsThis took some time to change from an uninteresting muted nose that could have been confused with Cru Beaujolais to singing in the glass. My French friend nailed it when he described it as a baby CdP. A gorgeous wine with time or air. |

6/3/2021 - DaddyNeedsPow wrote: 90 pointsPopped and poured, started off very rustic with gritty tannins and lots of barnyard and earthy notes. At some point it turned a corner and showed lots of bright red fruit and good acid structure. Fun wine, especially for the price. |

10/3/2020 - DaddyNeedsPow wrote: NRPacked with potential. Aromas explode with the pull of the cork. I get lots of apple/pear on the nose, with a barest hint of honeycomb. Good acidity that sneaks up on you, and seemed more pronounced the second night. I love these wines when they have some age on them, opening this was just a frivolity, and the others will be comfortable in the cellar for quite some time. |

9/18/2019 - DaddyNeedsPow wrote: 93 pointsWow. In a gorgeous place, showing all sorts of candied cherries. Still plenty of grip, and held up well over the evening, so no hurry to guzzle. But also why wait? |

8/23/2019 - DaddyNeedsPow wrote: 92 pointsWhat a treat to drink this from magnum with good friends! Probably the most elegant Zin on the planet, harmonious and polished. I love the way the oak plays, alternately smoothing out the texture and spicing up the finish (which also features cran and cherry flavors alongside the spicy oak). |
