  Still good at 21 years old. Save it for the cheese course and biscotti/cookie tray. Fruit still there. Stewed plums. Very dry. Slightly outside the suggest drinking window of 5 years PD suggested but still very enjoyable.

  Amazing! Purchased on release through ATP and forgotten for 11 years. Absolutely gorgeous. Still dark scarlet with no bricking. Tons of still primary fruit, raspberry and creme de cacao. 14.3% totally hidden. Lots of sediment.
  Yes. Zins should be drunk within 5-7 years, ... Unless they're from Ridge. Bravo! This seems timeless. Holding strong.

  Simple with bright red fruit, maybe a touch of cranberry.

  Had this on Easter with a leg of lamb and it was REALLY good. It is ready to go and is very very good. Held up well with the lamb!
