Excellent capsule and cork, base neck fill, clear mahogany. Smelled and tasted like a dirty old shoe. Bitter, fruitless, not recognizable as a zinfandel.

Base neck fill. Perfect capsule and cork. Decanted and served. Clear brick-ruby red. Meaty, vegetal, and fruitless. Rough and bitter on the palate. Not recognizable as a zinfandel. I have enjoyed a few 20+ year old zins, but this was not one of them.

Base neck fill. Excellent cork. Clear deep brick red. Quite dead, with moldy bouquet, bitter palate, and no fruit. Tasted and dumped.
