Nice languid wine, definitely showed the legs of a higher-alcohol wine. Bouquet had strong notes of vanilla, and hints of smoke. Complex taste, nice cherry-vanilla flavor, perhaps a bit much oakiness (but then we did open it a bit early for a 2010 Zin). Definite alcohol feel in back of throat. Strong tannins, but seemed well-balanced for the varietal. Pleasant aftertaste which lingered.
