  Big and bold!
  Fabulous nose of redcurrant and suave on the palate with integrated tannins.
  Last bottle it was, could easily last another 5 years.

  Nose of red cherry, black cherry, plum, and forest floor, more of the same on the palate, delicious, big body, elegant, showing its age but great Zinfandel as the Jackass vineyard fruit really shows here, and a long, lovely finish.

  Nose of red and black cherry, plum, dusty earth, same on the palate, very tasty, medium/big body, smooth, a touch old but still lovely Zinfandel, long finish.

  Nose and palate into the the raisin spectrum. Alcohol is a bruiser at 17%. Still the fruit character and power in the finish support an outstanding 17 yr old zin. This is past its prime but still has intensity.

  Served at a Pizza and Muffuletta birthday party. Open and let it breath for an hour. Still drinking great. Must have been the 17% alcohol that kept it intact. Sadly my last bottle, but it tasted a bit like a Zinfandel Port combination. A thick glycerin laden finish.
