I would agree with Askojoe and Isaacjamesbaker reviews below. It’s big, bold, and has all those flavors going on. Likewise, I do agree that the oak is maybe a bit to dominant for some, although I do like Zins like this.
I also concur that this should probably have been drunk a couple years ago before the tannins mellowed out so much. Would have been more interesting, I think.

An excellent and complex Zinfandel. Best at around 18°, took about an hour to open up completely. On the nose, notes of blackcurrant and cinnamon. On the palette, slightly tannic, medium full body with layered berries, a touch of oak. Medium long finish.

Deep color, dark forest fruit, raisins, vanilla on the nose. Straight forward dark fruit, and full bodied. For my palate the oak is a bit too dominating and it was probable best a few years ago. Overall solid but not very unique

Deep nose of plums, blueberries, with inviting smoky, beefy, coffee and sweet cocoa tones, tar and violets. Full (duh) with suave tannins and medium/low acidity, but just enough from keeping it away from being too gloppy. It's big, but for me, it feels smoothed out and not too heavy. Plums, blackberries, blueberries, with juicy, delicious fruit. I like the cocoa, coffee, tar, chewing tobacco tones. Enjoyed this quite a bit with some flank steaks.
