My last note from 2 yrs ago was that this was unfortunately past its prime. Forgot about that and didn't drink last bottle until now ... the fruit may have faded a bit, but it was a very good bottle and I didn't have the same reaction as last time. However I still don't think the wine is worth the price point vs. other zins even with nicer packaging.
I'm disappointed in this wine. 2012 was a pretty spectacular year for a lot of the Zins, I've had, but while this wine wasn't bad, it was relatively lifeless. I have two more bottles of this, and will update my notes accordingly if there's improvement.

This bottle confirms my prior note: this wine is tired and it's definitely time to drink up.
