We enjoyed a flight of 2004 Biale Zins (04 Aldo's, 04 Old Crane Ranch, 04 Grande Vineyard, 04 Monte Rosso and 04 Black Chicken). The wines, not bad, were not impressive outside the Monte Rosso. It was a baby and had years ahead of it. The Black Chicken was number 2 and the most jammy of the group. Grande Vineyard was showing burnt brown sugar and Aldo's was balanced buy uninspiring. The Old Crane Ranch was more bad amarone than anything else. Not appealing at all.

Consumed as part of a flight of 2004 Biale Zins (04 Aldo's, 04 Old Crane Ranch, 04 Grande Vineyard, 04 Monte Rosso and 04 Black Chicken). This clearly stood above the rest. Drank almost cab like, so no overt jamminess. Dark fruited notes, a touch of forest floor and a wonderful richness. Has some decent structure still, could go a few more years.

W sausage sunday. Still very fresh color, nice nose on palate typical zin of red berries, but a bit softer than you want in a zin. Good fimish with some tartiness. Still very good but wont get any better.

Cherry fruit, musty, brambles, stormy cherry character. Aged really well, still has great backbone and character.
