I love these older bottles. The nose is like walking through a vineyard. The bottle had sediment where is rested like it had made an impression in the sand or the sand that comes from the drift wood you find on the beach. It’s true I pulled this one right out of the cellar - directly the corkscrew. I wasn’t careful so thé cork broke 2/3s of the way out forcing me to carefully extract the remaining. The dust from the cork laid on the top of the first pour daring me to taste it. I won that bet. Rich and earthy this zin does not disappoint. Cheers.
