Expectations were high considering its vintage but the wine has alcoholic hotness and is awkward, overly acidic and too light in color. Has minimal fruit. Does not air well. I think it is a bit over ripe possibly.

Sweet and ripe berry fruits in the bouquet as well as on the palate. Round, soft and easy tannin with hardly any bite. Soft acidity. Overall an ok, but not very interesting wine. 84 – 85

Smoothing out nicely, very drinkable now.
One of the best Zins for the $$$.
