The house disagrees! Tim says fruity, not over flabby, tannins, lower alcohol drinkable. Susan says fruity, not too flabby, but maybe not as BIG (Flabby?) as she may like. But since Tim is writing, I would buy this all day long. A pleasure to drink - and a Zin that you could open a second bottle of in the same night.

On the nose - very, very berry with a bit of plum, slight heat. On the palate it's big berries (I get a predominance of raspberries), with underlying spice. The alcohol is present, but nicely balanced with the fruit and tannins. Drink now and over the next few years max, especially if you like it a bit spicier. Glad to have a case tucked away... Tried alone and with slow cooked lamb shank.

This wine was delicious. A jammy fruit bomb, but enough tannings to keep it interesting.
