This has settled in nicely after a few years, but I wonder if it isn't a little too extracted, overall. Smooth, fruity, but I miss the brambly character of other Hartford Zins.

Heavily extracted with big, bold fruit on the attack but is young, tending to grape syrup. Will try again but will wait at least 12 months. UPDATE: Much better on day 2 with flavors far more balanced. Recommend decanting before consuming. Day 2 score: 90.

Excellent Balanced, still full bodied Zin that was excellent with pork tenderloin. This has gotten better with some age on it.

Still way too young but will get better with more time in the bottle. Better the second night.

Somewhat primary and just slightly hot, but this wine has electric focus and amazing cherry/rasberry concentration. Really delicious.
