Dark garnet color with no signs of bricking. Aromas of dried cherries and prunes. Good mouthfeel. No typical black pepper flavor of zin but more of a spice mix of cinnamon and clove. Low acid but still has the alcohol burn on the backend. Good long finish. Enjoyed it with a London broil and roasted mushrooms.

I liked this previously, but this bottle is very flat. It could be corked or tainted in some other way. There is no obvious "corked" smell or taste; the cork did show slight signs of seepage fwiw. There is a hint, somewhere between the nose and initial touch on the tongue, of gentle slightly sweet fruit, but then a cloth of nothingness falls over the wine. I've tried several times over a two hour period with no change.
