Sunday, December 4, 2022 - A little minerality, unripe raspberry and pepper on the nose.
Tart raspberry, blackberry and apple on the palate. Bright. Residual sugar leaving some film on the glass, though I’m not quite ready to describe it as leggy. It is 15% ABV, though. A little tingling on the tongue and warmth in the back of the throat. A little oily. Not acidic. Medium-bodied. Roughly-hewed tannins.
Opened this bottle mainly cuz info I saw suggested the drinking window was closing. Maybe it already did; I feel like the other bottle we’ve had of this vintage was better.
Decanted this Zin for forty-five minutes, cuz I’m weird that way.
