Nice, deep color and enticing nose of bouquet garni, alcohol, and ripe fruit. Good structure, but the mouthfeel was a little underwhelming given the nose. All in all, a real nice zin with that rugged charm you'd expect in a bottle.

Nose of cherry cola, bramble and menthol. Wine is thick and viscous with long legs. Taste is smooth and silky with very subtle tannins and mellow finish. This is balanced wine seemingly drinking at it's prime.

Still very dense. Some of the fruit has given way to smoke and a tart chewiness. Minimal tannin. Must have been a bomber at release. Not my thing.

Very full bodied. Big. Filled mouth. Blueberry and some raspberry. Still tannic. Great finish went well with chocolate
