Excellent! Fruit is subdued but far from missing. Full mouth feel. Long finish. A bit alcoholic when opened, but that corrected after about an hour. Great food wine. Does well with salty food like Armenian feta. Very smooth.

Excellent! This is everything you want and expect from a world class Zinfandel. Luscious intense fruit without being a fruit bomb. Sof tannins. Full mouth feel. Sustained finish. Paired well with a stuffed eggplant accented with Poblano peppers. The bottle barely made it through dinner. Lust is an apropos name!

Powerful primary aromas of black berries mixed with intense secondaries such as oak and vanilla. Some chocolate too. Dry, but intense fruit sweetness, heavy body and alcohol but low astringency with some acidity trying to keep the balance intact. Relatively long finish but lacking somewhat in complexity. Had with hot dogs which seemed a proper food pairing.

Still drinking well, full-bodied, loads of fruit, jammy and sweet with a light spicy finish. More of a cocktail than a food complement at this point, but easy-drinking and enjoyable.

Opened an hour before dinner. Everything had settled out be that time. Drinking really well now. I regret that this was my last bottle.
