Lovely nose, really warm ripe berries. Very balanced, round on pallete. Juicy, medium body. This one aged well and is perfect drinking right now. Very nice finish.

From a magnum. No sign of ageing; black and extracted with rich, juicy fruit - just what one would expect from this wine. Just more youthful than I'd have imagined.

A big and bold Zin that was full throttle and had nice ripe and lush fruit. It defintely has lost some tannin structure and likely is on the down slope so if you have any I would drink it. This bottle young would rip your mouth apart. Extremely high alchohol content on this one. However, with all that said it was a nice bottle. I expected a tad more given the price point but all in all a pleasant bottle.

(Martinelli Zinfandel Giuseppe & Luisa) Group's #2 (my #6) – 30 pts.; 2, 2, 2, 1 - darkest, medium red color; slightly funky, dried plum and VA nose; TCA on palate, no fruit, molasses and milk chocolate; medium finish (Ross: "like shoe fly pie")

Just as yummy as the last bottle. Aged about right, would not cellar any longer.

Showed no signs of being an 11 year old bottle of wine. Black in color with terrific concentration...more sweetness than pepper...long finish.
