Drinking remarkably young for a 14 year old zin. I bought a case of this wine as futures at the winery and unfortunately drank 10 of the bottles too young. Just one bottle left to consume and I will wait at least another year before drinking it.

Still holding quite well. I never would pick this as a zin as it tastes like a syrah apparently due to the carignane in the wine. Should hold for at least another few years maybe more.

This zin is really coming around and is probably at it's prime. A blend of 84% zin and 26% carignane from 120 yr old vines it appears to at least several years before it goes downhill. Glad I have 6 bottles left.
