  A bold expression of zin. Drinking as well now as it ever has. Huge notes of dark fruit, licorice, and spice. The tannins are soft and are close to mellowing out too much. Enjoy this year or 2017!

  Decant for 2+ hours. Nose of spice and pepper. Deep, dark fruit, notes of cherry and licorice. The finish is short and the legs are fast, but this wine still has lots of life left.
