Community Tasting Note

  September 22, 2007 - The 2002 vintage Ponzo Vineyard Zin from Nickel and Nickel has crested the peak of bottle development and - as of now - has begun to shed its fresh fruit flavors. While the dark berry notes on the palate are brief and receding, the nose remains intriguingly powerful. Closing my eyes and sniffing the glass, I discover a bouquet reminiscent of red velvet cake - combined with sweet raspberry compote. So fascinating is the nose that I am able to forgive myself for holding onto this bottle for a couple of years beyond its prime. The short, tart finish is hard to get over, however. I do not believe the 2002 N&N Ponzo will remain drinkable for more than another year or so - Drink Up!
