A 21 YO Zin; and a good one at that. The fruit has lost a little of its jamminess, which is a good thing here. Good color. A fair amount of sediment. Good glycerin. No significant age notes, oddly. Very nice pleasant old Zin.

Has held up reasonably well over the years, but is in decline, as it has lost a bit of its fruit. Good general balance; medium bodied; good food wine. Drink now.

WIMLNR,NOWA,NOWS Tasted September 14, 2005 at an offline at a restaurant so brief comments only. Opened and served immediately in Spiegelau Authenthis Magnum glasses. Rose, exceptionally clear throughout. Slightly subdued nose of mostly red fruits. Raspberry over an earthy frame with some secondary carmel flavoring. Rating withheld because this wine should have been way earlier in the lineup…a last minute addition.

Still drinking amazingly well. Plenty of fruit and structure. Lovely aromatics of tobacco and earth.
