  Great fruit on the body throughout, fully integrated tannins. Complex nose, a touch of basement (not bret). Med- finish, a little truncated.

  Old world style Zin with fine tannins and nice finish. This very enjoyable 38 year old held up far better than most 7 year old Zins.

  ORANGE ON THE EDGE. CHOCOLATE, LICORICE, AND BLACKBERRIES IN THE NOSE. LOTS OF DEEP BERRY FRUIT AND MINT IN THE FLAVOR. MEDIUM TO LONG FINISH. NICE LEGS. CONSISTENT SCORES.
