Alternating between closed and vibrant. Overall it's still a nice medium-weight zin with great balance and acidity to go along with the bramble fruit and spices. I wonder if this has any more ageing upside.

Delicious. Raspberry, blackberry, leather, bright fruit but intense. Acid is balanced and present as are the tannins. Great wine, definitely in a good zone with some five spice notes on the finish. It's got a year or two to go, but drinking beautifully at the moment.

Lovely right now, I usually only drink 2 glasses a night but this disappeared fast. Slight sediment.

This has gained more prune and raisin since the last bottle. Still balanced, light, and spicy. The OGP vineyard is always a good idea.
