  I'm a fan of old Pickberries but, while this one has held up well, the fruit profile is just a little ripe and sweet for my taste. I prefer the 92 and the 93.

  Garnet. Nose of medium weight of plums, seasoned salt and dried herbs. Taste had a strong acid kick with hint of licorice and black fruits. Drink.

  This was good, but not as exciting/special as the other Ravenswood zins I’ve opened from the library sale. It was a little tired and lacking vibrancy. Still, given it’s 26 years old, it’s doing pretty well.

  For whatever reason this bottle was very cloudy and it never settled. It was not flawed an delivered ripe plum and tobacco with a smoky finish...very different from the last bottle which just goes to show that we have to be aware of individual bottle variation...especially with a 22 year old.

  Wow. I was a little worried when the brick wasn't just at the edges, but then the nose told me that not only was everything okay, but that I was in for a ride. Incredibly elegant perfectly aged meritage drinking like an old right bank Bordeaux...who says merlot can't age (63% merlot). Perfect harmony here. Soft tannins, balanced fruit and acidity. Just a luscious experience. Don't decant. Enjoy soon.
