Wine is past its prime and has changed from 2-3 years ago. Still delicious but the fruit is mostly gone, much spicier in the mouth. Still detect some fruit in the nose. Still interesting and great but not the fruit bomb people usually expect from a Rombauer Zin.

Wonderful wine. Some of the overwhelming sweetness of its youth has dissipated to leave a fantastically balanced, mature tasting zin. Drank with asian bbq ribs, and bbq chicken.

Last bottle, got lost in the cellar for a while. tried a glass and used the balance for a braising sauce.
Still has decent fruit, although past its prime by a few years. Red fruits, spices, pepper. Would still work with BBQ, spicy or Asian foods...

Jammy but well-balanced with tannins and smoke. Very good with a spicy Mexican meal.

Big, Jammy Zin. Outstandingly slow finish. Low tannins. Very smooth and flavorful.
