Might have been either slightly burnt or slight corked - couldn't tell. Dark fruit and hint of bell pepper still there, but a slight whiff of taint, thus no score.

Intense, layered nose of dark fruits, rosemary, dry leaves and campfire. Bold and juicy on the palate with medium tannins. This showed well the first day, less impressive on the second day. 90-ish.

Agree with Aero. Somewhat harsh on the palate, stewed prunes on the nose. Run of the mill cab; not something I would seek out again. Particularly at the price. I cellared this for 8 years at 55 degrees. Cork was perfect but the wine did not impress.

Not up to the other bottle of this I had some time ago - surprising as ZD has always seemed to me to be incredibly consistent.

Shocked how mediocre this was for a ZD Cabernet. Not much here.
