Apparently I do not share the views of others who have tasted this wine. Lots of of cola, maple syrup and spice on the nose. The palate was dark berry, oak and casis. Medium tannin and a linger that should last another 12 months. Good flavor.

A lot of alcohol on the nose (it is 15%) but also a load of briary spicy blackberries and cedar. Hits the mouth with a little less oomph than you'd expect with that nose, with a somewhat short, oaked finish. Unfortunately it seems the elements of this have pulled apart rather than come together over time.

Cork showed significant seepage; possibly complete, though no wine on top of cork. Hard to get past that mentally. Hot. Once was a favorite - now the last bottle goes out with a wimper - maybe a year or two too late.

Anita: Very big bleuberry, strawberry nose; great vanilla/cedar after fruit lifts off; big full bod, ample t’s, but very well-bal, great awesome Zin.***Tasty full bod red without being overbearing--good structure and well-built, pure flavors. No off notes. W/Zin chicken, Doug & Jessica.
