A wonderful, mellow version of this wine...perhaps enjoyed a little too late, but it was so good we don't think we really missed the peak. Decanted this wine prior to enjoying it with prime rib for New Year's Eve dinner....magnifique! We have followed Nalle Zins for many years and it's wonderful every time. The nose is deep berry and some wood followed by a complex palate with dark cherry, raspberry, hickory and spice. It's lovely!

My House: At 1st, huge fumes and fuel- too hot and burning; then calmed down to ripe but tart blackberry, boysenberry, smoke, and meat; very silky mth, nice finish.***Very good Zin.
