still showing well even with Best Enjoyed 8 to 10 years ago. Christian made a REAL winner with this Zin. Down to my last 2 bottles from the 2.5 case I bought. Wish I would have gotten more.

Another bottle of Christian's last production of OVC. Good balance with hints of dark fruit. Just a hint of remaining tannins offset by the front end fruit. Classic Zin spiciness. Went well with the paella and other Hispanic foods at this potluck

Color: tinge of brown halo around dark garnet Nose: candied cherry Flavor: candied fruit & raisin first sip, then lots cedar, cigar box Mouthfeel:thin for a zin with a short finish
This wine is just past its peek but I certainly enjoyed it.

This wine is holding up very well. Good balance of residual fruit and tannins. Distinctly Zin with pleasant mid to back palate spiciness.
