Has held up well for a 21 year old Zin. Some aged prune notes, but in a kind of endearing way. Still deep plummy fruit with a long intense finish. No hurry, despite its age.

Dark red black color, in your face bright berry fruit aromas, dense medium weight, loaded with red & dark berry fruit, some acidity, long tart fruit finish. Our grilled Chinese sausage needed this big powerful wine. We would think it would remain quite drinkable for a few more years.

Now this smells like Zinfandel! Fresh berries, pungent black peppercorn, some oak, vanilla. Luscious, sweet & seductive while staying zingy and high-toned. Quite intense and aging pretty well.

Dark, opaque classic Zin in the glass. Crushed blueberries, vanilla ice cream, and oak on the nose. This is full bodied with powerful ripe black fruit and no indication that it is 12 years old. Aging well and I would actually recommend waiting 2-3 more years before opening. Medium finish.
