Crème brulée, blackberry, licorice, eucalyptus, espresso. Firm acids and tannins suggest this wine is better with food (and it is). I'd suggest hearty Italian fare or a roast chicken with risotto (90-91).

Popped and poured but should have decanted for sediment. Medium crimson color. Nose of black cherry, plum, hint of baking spice and pepper. Maybe a little floral as well. Very fresh smelling for a zin and without any noticeable oak. Juicy, dark red berry fruits on the palate with good acidity. Tannins mostly resolved at this point, smooth finish. Really enjoyable on its own or with food.
