Deep red. Some oxidation in the nose. As it opens up, the fruit comes through nicely. Tart plum. Good acidity. Some complexity. Pretty impressive for an old zin.

Got to give it some credit for holding up so well. Still rather dark saturated color. Some oxidation. Relatively simple. But, the fruit is there. Raisin, plums, shoe polish.

Unfortunately oxidized. It must have been good once.
