I’m not generally a fan of Zin, but this got my attention. Knockout brambly nose, itense color with little sign of aging, and explosive fruit in the mouth with a beguiling spiciness. A perfect accompaniment to BBQ steak tips. A privilege to drink such a distinguished wine.

A stunning wine. How lucky I am to be tasting it after 15 years. The cork was a disaster but it decanted just fine with little sediment. Berry nose full of raspberry and perfectly smooth in the mouth with full fruit and nice acid balance.

Saturated purple color. Spicy blackberry fruit on the nose, with something dark and rich I could not identify! Red fruits dominate on the palate, and although there is a hint of alcohol/heat, the mouthfeel is smooth and most delicious. Very fine.

Nice wine, plenty of fruit and just enough oak. Kept it a little too long, would probably have been even better a couple years ago.
