Pulled from my cellar(about 58 deg.) Popped and poured. Had to try a few sips: a bit tight and obviously too cold. As Sprity said, it needs to be at room temp. & decanted. Patience will be well rewarded. Absolutely spot-on after 1 hr, even better after 2 ! Drinking beuatifully now and could easily go another 4-5 yrs. Wish I had 1 more to test that theory.

I've had a few bottles of this wine recently, and so far, have not experienced any "fizz". In fact, for under $15, this has become my current "house" Zin. Wine Enthusiast gave it a 90 and I concur.

Tried again on day 2.Still didn't develop any manners. If anything, it was worse and I've lowered my score accordingly. Poured it out.
