After reading previous CellarTracker and professional reviews, decided on a longer decant. After 4+ hours decanting in the wine cellar, we found a very aromatic (no alcohol) Zinfandel, that was silky smooth on the palate with bright red fruit followed with a moderately long finish punctuated with minerality and very refined tannins.

Excellent wine. Had it on the 4th with pulled pork. Bit high in alcohol BUT, great zin color, interesting nose and on the palate a perfect match with the dish. This is at the top now IMO, so I'd say drink between now and two yrs.

Cork had disintegrated, wine had leaked, but miraculously it had not gone bad. Licorice, smoke, leather, a little candy apple. Better than expected!

Drank well. This is now at peak maturity and any bottles you have should be consumed soon. Tastes of berries, plums, jam,

Plenty of fruit, but the high alcohol levels make the finish harsh and undermine the wine's balance.
