My score reflects a generous bonus for aged wine, this one was from a fellow winemakers cellar and the ullage was at the curve of the shoulder. Soft and balanced the Zinfandel soul was still there but the body was at a point of old wine. Still it worked well with Salmon.

mature, bit volatile nose, somewhat like old claret. light body, fruit a bit thinned out:like attenuated dried red fruits, unusual,interesting, and zesty flavour; high acidity, not much mid-palate complexity; slightly bitter finish.

Showing its age with a serene red fruit profile, but lacking ooomph and any real grip in the mid-palate and finish. Nothing really here to write about - nothing off or imbalanced, just a slow steady fade. And not so slowly. Elegant and stylish, but..... Drink up.

Top shoulder fill. Funky old wood nose with fresh strawberries and some toast(!) Elegantly spiced with cinnamon, red licorice, and strawberry conserve. Subtle, beautiful nose and decent palate. Yum!

Mimicking a medium range Bordeaux, this is delicious, but on the donwnhill slide.
