Outstanding zin from what I'm coming to regard as the Golden Age of Turley. Full flavor, mellowed tannins, no heat despite high alcohol. We had a mini-vertical with a 2008; delicious with rack of pork with honey grilled peach glaze. I've had more recent Turley zins (~2014-15) that disappointed and seemed over the hill. This was great and probably would have lasted a couple more years, but I'm glad I pulled the cork and shared with good (wine appreciating) friends.

(Vertical Dusi tasting at Turley.) Sits right between the ‘08 and ‘09 Dusi Zins in terms of its development. Blackberries and apricots kissed by creosote and bay leaf. Full bodied with almost resolved tannins. Decent acidity. Drink 2021-2024. Worth Seeking Out.

Bottle was way past drinking window, approaching raisin juice. Poured down drain :-(
