Surprised at some of the notes on this wine from over the 20 years. I really enjoyed this wine, still drinking well, could still go on for another 5 years. Floral notes, baking spice, and plum. Put on gas and drank over 4 days. Very elegant and smooth. For me I sometimes find Zins a little to big, but this wine at 20 years is perfect for me. Not overly complex but just a beautiful easy to enjoy wine with food or by itself.

Well past its prime - generic fruit not very well integrated with savory aged characteristics. I don't think this wine was intended to go until 2016, so no real demrits.

- Ruby color - Cork broke but was ok after we strained the wine.
