  slow legs, dark red to black, cork broke (using a screw-type bottle opener), not yet over the hill but going in that direction; still drinkable but I definitely held it too long, mostly cellared at red-wine temperatures; it did improve somewhat after several days in the fridge

  Delicious, a hit hot, but will probably impove as it opens. Balanced, rich, muted fruit.

  Agree with previous notes. The tannins and fruit forwardness have faded, leaving a rich and full body. Almost 15% - goes down a bit hot after the wine starts warming in the glass, goes well with the Zin's spicy notes.

  So...I was wrong. This wine improved. It was absolutely delicious. Smooth, not big and fruity at all, but rich and tasty. This wine delivered and was very enjoyable. Not a big zin, but grew well, held well, drank phenomenally. I renounce what I said in my last notes. 2011 was a good year for this wine.
