  In great shape, rich, slightly syrupy, deep somewhat faded ruby; lots of cherry syrup, very slight sweetness, ripe attack, lots of ripe black and red fruits, dusty herbs; decent structure, tannins, a bit of lift; walked and talked like a CdP, which most guessed. Monopole blind

  One of the highlights of the evening. A very delicate zin, fruits have shifted to perfume.

  Think this has peaked - showed some interesting notes on the nose when first opened but an hour later with dinner had basically died
