Medium color intensity. Appropriate hue for 30 year old Zinfandel. Evolved but very pleasant and complex nose with some fruit remaining, earthy and iron notes; reminiscent of southern Italian reds on volcanic soil. Just enough tannin to hold the wine together, good acidity as Zinfandel should have and a long, mouthfilling finish with excellent complexity. Probably 5+ years past its peak but still highly enjoyable. I really enjoy the texture of aged Zinfandel with an almost Burgundian quality.
