Lovely Zin. On the elegant side for Zin. Sappy and fruity, with a mix of blues and blacks, and red fruit highlights. Nice finish. Solid Zin in a forward style.

My favorite of these 7 vintages of Black Chicken graciously offered by John at BP tonight. Stands out because its beautiful acidity balances the black pepper and berry extraction, elegant and rich, classic iron fist in a silk glove. This will improve over the next two years, and drink well for 5. Duck confit wuth cherries might be a perfect match.

Second wine of the second tranche of BC's brought by John tonight. Mid garnet in the glass, somewhat muted nose. Palate of more red than black fruit with increased acidity and decent spice so this one will roll on for quite a while......
