The nose is just where I thought I might find it: earthy, forest floor and spice with hints of prune and even some herbal nuances ... yes, aeration helps it a bit, but fruit is long gone from this wine and no matter how long it stayed open and was swirled in the glass it still finished finish dry, herbal, tannic and harsh ... even when it came across "smooth" it was still woody-cedary smooth ... "drinkable to a point" - in an every wine is a learning experience kinda way.

Not a fan of this Zin but was drinkable even though it surpassed its drink end date.

Rich berries, almost a bit buttery. Fairly long and smooth on the finish. Moderate complexity. Good for a wine in this price range.
