Seems like I am on a bit of a Zin kick this week. Normally, I am not much of a Zin guy, but we all need to live a little, no? This is better than I remember the last bottle. Nice fruit and pretty good balance. Sure it is big, and it is over the top, but I like it. I guess I am branching out. Yeah me.

Dark red fruit with touches of chocolate and vanilla. Nice balance throughout with a bit of tannic grip on the end. Very Good to Excellent. 87-89 points.

Rich black berry and Cherry nose with a slight spiciness. Taste if very dark berry with a very nice smooth cherry finish. Very nice sipping, with cheese and then with hot peppers, green olives and shrimp pasta. It pared extremely well with them all and the complexity gave nice paring with each.

Upon opening, this bottle promised more than it (eventually) delivered for me. The fruit faded, and the tannins took over. Still a decent drink, but not quite as rich as I hoped it would be.
