10 years old and still a great bottle of Zinfandel. Fruit has not subsided. White pepper and spice notes dominate. Tannins have woven themselves seamlessly into this wine. Fantastic! Consumed my last two 2005's and both were very consistent with one another.

2014 Fall Wine Dinner - Chicago (Chicago): A great wine with strong fruit. As I noted in my previous notes I think this needs a little time in the decanter (2 hours this time) as when first open the alcohol can dominate, but after a few hours it really is a nice wine.

PnP at a restaurant. No detailed notes. Seemed simplistic and rather mellow. Some of the old spice was still there, but I think this one has passed it's time.

Still good, but definitely time to drink up (this was a magnum too).
