Still drinking beautifully and we have two bottles left! Fruit has mellowed out. It smells like and Blackberry. It tastes like Black currant (cassis), and Gooseberry. The body is Light/Medium. The wine has Linear texture. The wine finishes Medium.

A really nice bottle that significantly exceeded my expectations. Rich and complex, yet balanced and subtle. At the beginning of what seems like it should be a several year drinking window. Unfortunate that it is my last bottle.

Solid by unexciting. Cloudy purple, with the heaviest crust of tartaric acid crystals around the cork I have ever seen in a red wine. We drank with pizza, which I now see someone else did as well, and I agree this was an appropriate combo. Nice to drink now, and will continue to hold.

Great food (pizza) wine, Zin fruit forward, but balanced with tannin and some acidity. Got better after an hour in glass, really nice fruit. Will last a few years but think its best drunk while fruit still prominent.
