As the first bottle I had this one in the fridge to cool to white wine levels. Thought this was way over its edge but was pleasantly surprised of Fruity currant aroma

still very soft tannins left
probably a little beyond its prime but still a great bottle

maybe a little beyond prime time but still an awesome bottle.

still a lot of dark berry aromas with hints of tobaccos and cassis.

a little shorter finish than expected from an old Vine Zinfandel but that's probably because of the age...

All in all, great bottle
