I liked this pretty well. Minimal nose. Fairly dense - still has fruit but not jammy. Some interesting briar/garrigue-like notes. Very prominent acidity. Not the best structured wine, but I think with the age it might have improved from a typical overly fruit dominated Zin.

nose - oaky mouth - initial attack of rich fruit which quickly segues to sour berry fruit, followed by big tannins. nice, slightly rustic, and not really what i would expect from 90+ year old vines, (or whatever they claim). Perhaps will get better with bottle age?

Very tasty Zinfandel. Fruit forward, nice nose and some tannins.

Semi-opaque purple; roasted, jammy fruit, menthol, and a little pepper on the nose; spicy, berry, plummy, and a fair amount of tannin; good.
