Still a solid wine. Has a little sweetness that puts me in agreement with others that this might do best on its own. It got better and better over a four hour drinking window.

What a lovely mature Old Vine Zin! The wine has truly stayed in balance with no off flavors or harsh finish. A friend couldn't believe how much enjoyment I got out of it. He prefered a younger and more fruit forward '03 Zin from CA.

No notes.
Decanted 1 hr. Good cork with slight micro sediment.
Solid and delicous, as always.
Drink now or revisit in a couple yrs.
While not the weight of a Biale Monte Rosso vineyard, still classy Zin that everyone liked.
90 pts.

Solid, still nice fruit and not hot.
By itself or with food.

FBM buy. Nice btl of Zin. Thick, syrupy with noticeable sweetness. Best on its own or as an appertif. A bit difficult as a food wine.
