Decanted and left to breathe for about 45 minutes. Very smooth, pleasing Zinfandel flavor that leaves you wanting another 250 ml in the bottle when you're finished. Inky appearance (though medium weight) with good nose. Ample jammy fruit to satisfy a Zin lover but not overpowering. Somewhat pricey, but worth it on those occasions when you want to be good to yourself.

I have to counter that other person's 87 with a 993. This is a real tense, lithe yet intensly fruited and zingy wine.. in 3 years... perfection.. the highwire too..

ZAP 2011 20th Annual Grand Tasting; 1/29/2011-1/31/2011 (San Francisco, Fort Mason): Along with the Highwire this was not a great showing today.
