  Restrained yet powerful. Low alcohol yet great blue fruit and plum on the palate. Certainly not sweet. Much better now than a few years ago. Great bottle of wine today.

  The nose reveals, ripe, slightly baked plum, blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries, raspberries & strawberries on the glass edges. Baking spices; vanilla, cinnamon, clove. Dark spice, limestone minerals, crushed dry rocks, some black licorice, herbaceous notes, notes of eucalyptus, dark rich soil, used leather with lavender & bright red florals.
  
  The body is medium and lush. The tannins are nicely resolved with dust. The fruits are bright and ripe; slightly baked plum, blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries, raspberries & strawberries on the glass edges. Raspberry cola, baking spices; vanilla, cinnamon, clove. Dark spice, limestone minerals, crushed dry rocks, some black licorice, herbaceous notes, notes of eucalyptus, dark rich soil, used leather with candied lavender & bright red florals. Beautiful round acidity like a rain shower. The long, rich, lush, round, elegant, balanced, polished finish is delicious.

  Opened third bottle last night and decanted for an hour. I agree with comment that this zin is loaded with character, which distinguishes it from others. Last night the anise flavor was more forward that I remember from a year ago. Sad it is my last bottle. Paired with blackberry short ribs and mashed potatoes.

  Dark brooding Zin with notes of rich raspberry and anise. Wonderful all the way through and was still opening after 2 hours.
