Typical Pesenti profile most of the night. Bright red fruit, lots of acidity and spice. 93 til hour 5 of air.
End of the night, acidity and alcohol come to the forefront and take over. Very hard to like it at that point, more like battery acid......86 then. This one obviously needs some bottle time. If popping one now, drink it in the first 2-3 hours.

Drinking kinda tight right now- not young per se but tighter than 3 months ago after a 90 minute decant. Acidity is front and center unlike the last time I opened a bottle. Plenty of fruit as well, so drinking more like a Pinot. If you like Pinot, then enjoy! I will be holding for another 6 months before opening another bottle.
First bottle of this vintage. It drinks like earlier vintages of this wine that I have had. It was open in a restaurant for about 45 minutes with no decant. It might be even better with a decant and/or time aging in the Wine Room. However, it is very good right now. I would describe it as a "classic" Zinfandel. It is dialed back just a bit from the fruity end of the scale that many Zins exhibit.

Note de passage pour les attentes.
Bon malgré qu'il manque de complexité. Très bien qu'on ne sente pas l'alcool. Pas de wow
Je préfère le zin de Caymus de loin!
Ce vin serait préférable en mangeant. Accompagne bien le cigare.

Slow ox x1hour. Enjoyed over 5-6 more.

This one drinks so well young that it is hard to keep my hands off!
