Very high toned tart Bing cherry...good dose of dusty cedar oak barrel, mint, chocolate covered raspberries...very smooth with leather and silky tannins...much more integrated on day two...but WOW there is some sour puss tartness in this wine! Fun stuff!

Popped and decanted...nice experience for what it is, but definitely "tired" on this night...light red fruit that quickly faded into more of a light Bordeaux.

Popped, decanted, aerated one hour. Deep dark color. Full bodied. Not much nose but mouth filling taste of dark cherry, fully integrated tannins, velvety texture, elderberry. No distracting features to my taste. Another great 94 zin, showing that these older lower alcohol (13.8%) zins have great lasting power

Mistaken for left-bank Bordeaux in blind tasting

Dead bottle...nothing on the nose and little more than dirty water.
