Ben's Birthday (San Francisco): Super raisinated with some figgy tones. This smells oxidized. Ripe and sweet. This wine was not meant to be drunk this late.

I have always liked this wine a lot and tonight is no exception. Beautiful dark color with nice zin characteristics. This wine grew more flavorful as it was exposed to air and was a really lovely drink. Paired well with eggplant parmesan.

This has not held up well. Must not have the backbone as it's mushy, over ripe pushing prune notes.

Much better than the last bottle but on the downslope and will not improve. Pretty tasty though.

This bottle was starting to fade a bit but was still enjoyable.
