Not as full as my prior bottle consumed just a few months ago. Prior bottle had years of life left in it. Not so much this one. Still very enjoyable but drink up.

What a wine! Still had a ton life left when we drank it, very structured composure led me to think another couple years would have exposed the depth, you’ll want to let this one breathe. I suspect is starting to show well now.

I've been a ZD club member 30+ years. This ZD Reserve was a bit different as it has more licorice and spice. It was decanted for 2 hours but took a third hour to really open up. Can go for years yet.

Got the club shipment and let is settle for a couple of weeks. Wow, this is an excellent wine! Great nose, texture, mouthfeel. Was surprised by how soft it is....we had a 2011 reserve the day before for comparison. I am not sure how the tannins will balance out but it is a young wine with a solid finish. I cannot wait for my next bottle.

Soft tannins, smooth. Hint of leather. Went well with steak.
