Knock your socks off good. Surprised to find this bottle in perfect condition. Solid cork, a little restrained upon opening, but opened quickly into a deep, smooth and integrated zin. Opened first bottle in 2008 with note that it needed time. 2nd bottle in 2017 showed good improvement. Luckily, still have 3 more to go.

Bright blood red with a very skinny brick rim. Still quite young with juicy berry fruit on the nose. Slightly more complex on the palate with red fruits and white petals. Excellent integration of fruit, tannin, alcohol and acidity. I’m sorry it’s my last bottle purchased in 2008. Still has a couple of years before maturity reached. But needs to have been stored properly.

Terrific Zin and still quite together. At its peak but will hold together for a few years more.
