Still youthful in the glass. The nose opens with barnyard and stable notes, followed by blackberry and raspberry notes. Mouthfeel is lovely: smooth and medium bodied. Fruit is restrained by now -- black and red berry notes, some cherry cola and old leather to a lingering and somewhat elegant finish. Drank it with home-smoked pastrami, a fine combination.

The sweetness comes especially through in the taste now - close to much sweetness for my taste. Very clear taste of svesker - like Zinfandel. Too expensive wine for the quality - do not buy again.

Really can't do much better than this for a $15 zin. Started out a little peppery, then became milder and a little fruity later on. A very drinkable, excellent value bottle of wine.

Has the sweetness for a Zinfandel (both in bouquet and taste), and an easy-going wine. The high alcohol (15%) do not go through - easy to drink and enjoy. A bit too expensive I think, even on sale. Dont buy it again.

Excellent value Zin. Deep color and flavor. Not overly bold.
