  Some very slight dulling/browning, otherwise dark damask red. On the nose: ripe plum, sweet pepper, slight bit of soft leather. Light-medium to medium body; toffee-like, peppery, bramble fruit. Immediately appealing. Hanging in there (considering its age), but beginning to go.

  Lots for fruit, berry nose. Surprisingly held up until now. Stil some life left, some oak, tannins.

  Very good. Immediately appealing on the nose - toffee apple, sweet leather, cedarwood with a hint of menthol. Very soft, smooth and rounded with tobacco, prunes and currants. A slightly perfumed finish with a hint of rose petals. Did others drink it too young, or has it got unsuspected ageing potential?

  Did not enjoy this nearly as much as the 2008. Reached a slightly intriguing peak after about an hour of breathing then faded quickly. Wouldn't buy again.

  - Ruby color and aromas of ethanol, blackberry and cloves and has flavours of vanilla, orange blossom and alcohol - A smooth operator this one. Well worth the price. Ravenswood is now quite consistent and this one is no exception. We tasted it blind and took just a title while for us to realise it was a Zinfandel. Not smokey at all.
