Really enjoyed the initial taste until I paired it with barbecued pork chops. At that point the wine went flat, completely opposite what I expect from a good Zin. Is it past it's prime????

Hardly any wine stain on the cork, decanted for one hour, restrained nose, surprised by the intensity of the fruit accompanied by vanilla undertones which blew off after a couple of hours. However there was a little too much acidity and minerality for my palate. Tannins were subdued and if more prominent, could have provided more balance. Probably more of a food wine in my case.

Still drinking remarkably well. Still balanced.

Earth and mineral nose. Took some time to open up. Big fruit flavor dominated by blackberry. Medium to lengthy dry finish exhibiting saddle leather.

Shared our last 2 bottles with friends and they drank much better than the last one. Dark fruit on the nose. Medium body. Smooth finish.
