While this was an elegant wine it still maintains typicity, unfortunately now (or at least my last bottle of it) the fruit doesn’t seem to match up to the heat in year 7 ...

Plums, raisins and dark cherry on the nose, similar palate with some dirt included finish is a bit on the short side though, feels like it’s a just a bit over it’s peak now

This is one of Laura's finest Zins and is frequently a surprise. In the early days the flavors were always throwing out new things - always nice, sometimes fantastic. This bottle is now more integrated... a delightful and elegant wine. A bold nose of black cherry, licorice and smoke...smoky bacon. This continues in the mouth with thick black cherry notes and licorice - nice full mouth feel with the same flavors going on. This is drinking just fine right now.

Verys smooth Zin Ready to drink
The wine looks Ruby colored. The legs are Medium. It smells like Medium Toast, and Cinnamon.

Drinking wonderfully right now. Bold flavors of black cherry with a slightly smoky backdrop. Great mouth feel and a lingering finish.
