I'm not convinced that this wine is past its prime; it is still enjoyable. Nose: fruit and spices. Palate: fruity, not very complex initially, some hints of pepper, still seems well balanced. The palate is even more open/complex after 1 hour of uncorking.

Berry bouquet began with the nose, and then exploded on the palate. 16%+ alcohol content was a barrier to enjoyment for some, but for not this Zin lover.

Past its prime... At this point this Zin is falling apart. If Nyquil is your drink of choice than jump right in otherwise just pass! Alcohol dominates and the fruit is only distinguishable in a cooked syrup type of way.

Nice bottle of wine that went well with some tacos we made. That alcohol creeps up on you at the end of the bottle, but not discernible heat.

Yes, there is fruit in this one, lots of it. Does a good job of masking the 16+ alcohol, a tad bit green, but still very enjoyable.
