Decanted and tasted, this bottle fell through the cracks and possibly for the better. Three bottles previously tasted way back in 2013/14. According to the notes those bottles were good but somewhat underwhelming as this bottle tonight was smooth, integrated, with dark fruit and a soft smooth finish, this bottle certainly was not whimpy but not exactly a beast either.

Consistent with the previous notes, just does not live up to my expectations. Dry and 1 demensional, with hint of berries and spice!

I had been excited to try this but was disappointed. Palate of raisins and dark fruit. Maybe this was exposed to heat at some point? Would rate an 86

This is disappointing for its pedigree , I was expecting a little more, still a good zin, but a terrible QPR.
