Zin Purge and a Couple Random Whites: Pop/pour - 85 points. Too hot on the palate as this does not hide its alcohol well. Aside from that, it has a nice rich flavor profile that is unfortunately masked by the booze. I'll check back later, maybe this will smooth out with some air. Update: I forgot about this for 2 days. Much better on the third day open. Smoothed out, alcohol hardly noticeable, long sweet finish. Probably 88-90 points. Assuming most people don't wait 2-3 days to drink this, a long decant would be in order.

I opened because I was concerned it would be aging out. Not the case still very good great depth of fruit and smooth taste.

Very tasty Zin. Up front dark fruit with some pepper and smoke. Nice an rich, and well balanced, paired well with sweet BBQ. Would buy again.

Nice and fully bodied. (Reminded me of 7 Deadly Zins). Strong flavors. Many berries. A little peppery. Much to my taste. Rich and almost buttery.
