Big, bold, and vigorous with gobs of mouth-coating black fruit - cherries, currants, berries, plums - licorice, eucalyptus, anise, white pepper, vanilla, mocha, and cocoa. Nice texture. A touch of heat on the cola-inflected finish. Ripe, unctuous, and fleshy.

Very dark in color with aromas of fresh crushed raspberries, plumbs, and black cherry. Throw in some mint, musk and old spice and we have a party. Medium body and stylish with good structure bound by balanced acidity. The finish lingers a bit with some citrus components.

I think this is excellent Zin. The ripe raspberry aroma reminds me of the Sbragia Gino's I opened in March. It has a typical caramel/brown sugar core with some plummy spicy notes. It's ripe in the mouth with lower latitude feel but it has a power/grace juxtaposition I find attractive in Zin. Ready now.

Don't remember specifics aside from massive alcohol, but at $15 I'd buy again.
