This bottle was unfortunately a bit pruney with quite a bit of noticeable heat. Still fairly enjoyable but much more advanced than my last one a few weeks back. No great wines and all that.

Man, it is always a treat to open one of these zins! Deep, dark, dusty plum fruits and pepper with plenty of acidity. Might have been better a year or two ago but its still drinking REALLY well! Extra point for the ageability!

Although the recommended drinking year is 2013, I found it to be perfectly balanced; just a hint of mustiness around some sharp fruit on the nose, but a mellow, savory feel on the palette, supportive of olives, salami, dark chocolate, Brie, Parmesan, etc. The wine has stood up well, and if cellared properly, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it today!
