Very nice PN from the Z. Balanced and great with chicken satay . In a good place right now, not sure of any future improvement. Fresh red fruits with cleansing finish...yet lingers nicely. Good qpr at $25

loads of black cherries with a bit of herb (oregano/thyme?) spice on the finish. Tried to pair with roast chicken and vegetables but this really worked best for just drinking as the acid is far hidden behind the fruit. Very good.
