July 24, 2018 - If this is in your cellar, you can open it now and it doesn’t need a lot of time to decant or breath.
The wine opens up pretty much straight away. It’s a powerful Zin with a creamy burnt caramel taste (not unpleasant). Medium bodied and medium colored. It’s a little bit acid in terms of balance. Raspberries and creme brûlée with a rhubarb crumble finish. Pretty good all up. Interesting without being exceptional.1,403 views

It lost its acidity, it was smoother on the tongue, it developed smoke and deeper flavored fruits and overall the balance was better. I would bump the 85 up to 88 based on day 2. It will likely improve with age in the bottle.
