Subtle fruit on the nose, dark plum. Solid acidity, but needed to breathe for a good while. Somewhat flat on the middle palate, but a long smooth finish with hints of tobacco and leather. Pretty good for the price!

Shows promise! Not very concentrated, with a Purply garnet color. Straight out of the bottle, Very grippy tannins on the front of the palate, but not an overly harsh finish. After decanting for two hours, the nose is under-ripe cherry while peppery and herbaceous on the palate; mouth feel is silky! Not a lot of tobacco and leather that is typical with Brunello, but that should come with age. I knew it was probably too soon to drink, but wanted to see how it is progressing. Will try again in a few years.

I am not much of a fan of Zinfandels and this bottle confirms why. Not much fruit on the nose and crazy tannic on the middle palette, with a smoky ashtray finish.
