I love all Zin's but this one has always been special even in its old age. no signs of breaking down yet. ive drank a few now and 07 i guess was the peak. So if you Got'em Drink'em. 90 pts after 2 hour breathing in bottle. I guess it is important that this bottle has been kept well since purchased in california.

High alcoholic - Pruny port, with ethyl acetate & metallic. After gassing off for a day it was a bit more palatable, but the EA was there. not really an age issue

This zin is holding up extremely well especially for a zin. This wine was very good a couple years ago but is even better now which is unusual for a 6 year old zin. The Howell Mtn fruit obviously helped this wine age. If you have any of these left give one a try you wil like it.

This was brought to dinner last week by benchland. This was not my style of wine. Big, dark and concentrated. I found it to be too over the top for my palate. others at the table liked it better than I did. The 16.1% alcohol showed an the finish. 86 points.

Consumed at the Martini House with the best lamb chops that I've ever had. Wine was great and still showed its power.
