On this bottle, back to a plum flavor and nose. Not as much of a reduction flavor as in the past, but it's still there. Enjoyable, but the 2008 bottles had a lot more variation than the 2006, 2007 versions.

This bottle, my last, was so much better than the previous. The fruit may have been a bit subdued at first, but it was still quite good and didn't take long for it to show. Dark and spicy. Glad this vintage ended on a high note.

It took 5 years, but this Zin finally reached its potential. I wish I had showed more patience with these.

Noticed this tucked away and pulled it. Popped and poured and well rewarded. Not overly complex but drinks way above it weight class.

Amazing difference from bottle one year ago. Subdued fruit (vs none), pleasing autumn spices, and nice zin finish
