  Still some body left after all these years. Looks good, smells good, goes down smooth.
  Fruit still there, but not much left. Burnt cherry and tobacco, light to no finish.
  Biale wines are always fun and interesting and this oldie is still delivering.
  PNP and got a bit better over the next couple hours.

  A strong bottle of zin that doesn't show it's high alcohol at all and features a smooth body of red and black fruit with a full compliment of Zinfandel "garrigue."

  Generally a fan of these wines, but this is way too prunish and hot. Unbalanced and not a good food choice. Score may be ambitious.
