FROM ONCE AND FUTURE LIBRARY RELEASE PnP. Solid cork with a great seal. Immediately when it popped everyone in the room knew this was gonna sing because the aroma immediately filled the room with dark fruit notes. On the palate those fruits are backed up with that spicy goodness you want from a good zin with just a touch of leathery soil to add complexity, but dang if this doesnt still feel incredibly fresh. Still put on some more depth with about an hour in the glass but to be honest it just didnt make it much past that for me to continue to follow

Fill into neck. Perfect capsule and cork. Allowed to breathe in glass for 30 minutes before tasting. Hazy garnet-blood-brick red. Aromas and flavors of faded, dusty, jammy black fruit and spicy oak, with notes of shoe polish. Drying tannins. Still enjoyable 24 hours later under vacuum stopper.

20th Anniversary - Huntington Beach, California; 6/30/2008-7/10/2008 (Huntington Beach - Paradise House aka Joe's Pad): Decent agedZin. Bright ruby red in glass. Funky aged zin nose, sweet palate, sour cherry fruit attacked mid palate finish.
