Kept too long. Very smooth and aged.Plenty of dark fruit flavor and still some heft in the tannins. Very good with food less good without food because the tannins and concentrated fruit was almost too strong.

Showed much better than the 1997 and 1998 version of this wine that I sampled recently. Lovely crushed berries on the nose. Sappy and lively on the palate. Quite concentrated and lengthy on the finish. Lovely fruit-driven wine.

This wine has aged very well despite being a zinfandel. In fact it tasted more a cab or syrah than a zin. It should last at least another 2 years. A very tasty bottle of wine.

Nice aged zin. Kirsch, dusty cherry. Smooth, fully resolved and mature. Still quite enjoyable but best to drink up.
