Decanted and drank over 2 days. Great nose after 2hrs air. Balanced well with still lots of fruit, low acidity. Wow, what a nice wine. Year's left on this, peak maybe still 2 to 5yrs off. Sweet zin-like blend. Still balanced with superb fruit day #2. This is one of my new favorites!

Let the wine open briefly by just opening the bottle and letting it come to temperature for about an hour while cooking. My husband and I enjoyed this wine with homemade bacon pizza. The salty cheese and bacon paired perfectly with the dark berry characteristics in the wine.

3hrs to open up. Nice but a little 1 dimensional. Did not get the sweet Zin flavors and fruits from previous bottles on this bottle.

Amazing! Even after all of these years-tannins are soft and fruit is powerful.

2-4 hour decant; a really nice wine--still with enough oomph to need the decant!

Brilliant wine. Flavorful with strong jammy blackberry and vanilla.

One of the best blends that I have had. Not too brash but carries enough fruity flavors that it has a long finish.

Full of fruit flavor but not too bold. Excellent blend!
