I wasn't thrilled with this one. I got too much oak - no fruit that I could notice either on the nose or in the taste. Nothing to distinguish this - and didn't really scream "Zin" to me. Fairly pedestrian bottle. Didn't improve day 2.

Needed time to breathe and was well worth the wait. The fruit was well integrated with hints of spice and raisin. Nose was fragrant with some eucalyptus. Mouthfeel was full and rich. Wonderful bottle to sit back and enjoy through and post dinner.

Nose of vanilla and stewed fruit, palate of black raspberry, black cherry, blueberry pie, dried herbs, and a floral element with a nice smooth ride... and a touch of heat in places. Much better here on day 2. Good QPR at $23.
