Dak ruby red color, still purple at the rim Dusty tannins, leather, eucalyptus and fall notes on the nose on palate firm yet generous; good intensity and body, backed up by good tannin structure. Much more to my taste than the "big break Zinfandel" of the same year by the same producer, drunk a cpuple of ays ago.

Bright red fruits, tart cheey, raspberry, cranberry, eucalyptus. Should have decanted to blow off a little alcohol-seemed a little out of balance, but otherwise a GREAT wine.

Darkest red color with a center that was almost black
A mighty wine; like a supercharged Chateauneuf de Pape.

No formal notes taken: An interesting wine, with lively acidity and fruit.
Many facets. I liked it

I'll stick with my original tasting note on this. Again, not the standout of earlier vintages. Wishing for more.
