The 1999 I had recently was actually drinking substantially better but this vintage is still solid at age 15. Ripe brambly fruit with the structure starting to give way to some alcoholic stewed notes. I am quite surprised with how well these Zins have held up with extended age.

Obviously a good wine but was really past it, started out well but soon turned acidy.

Still drinking well. Most of the fruit is still hanging around on the palate. A touch of heat on nose and palate. Acidity keeps this refreshing.

Still a good wine, not as vibrant or acidic but holding well for a 13 year old Zin
