Stellar aged zin. No sign of fading, but maturity it there. I like the fruit bomb to bleed off and have a bit more complexity and drinking this at this point paid off. Fruit but not in your face. Really great. Loved drinking this.

To be honest, this was harder to drink than I remember. Was it the high alcohol? Was it the mega-forward fruit? Concentration? The wine was not flawed, but it was interesting to try this some time later. Rather simple berry pie compote with a dollop of heat and snappy Zinfandel showing through. I wouldn't hold much longer, but for those uber-Cali fans this is for you.

It's gotten darker, heavier, and bolder. Plum, currant, light spice. Tasty and good for at least a couple more years.
