Still very young. It needs a lot of decant time.

Really outstanding red Burgundy.

This is too early to be drinking this wine. It needed a full hour to even start to awaken. The structure, tannins and fruit are all there showing good to great potential. Let this sit for another 3-5 years.

This wine is ready but it still needs 2-3 hours of decanting for the best results.

11/11/2022 - srshane Likes this wine:

Drink up. this one is not going to age further.

Smooth, fine tannins. Still strong fruit. This is drinking very well now and will be good for 5-10 more years.

Possibly past prime. Still delicious. Drink up.

Drinking flawlessly after a one hour opening. Really beautiful wine

Beautiful pairing with a 12 hour smoked pork butt. Light enough but substantive enough fruit with fine, delicate tannins. Very smooth to drink.

Needed time in a decanter. Smooth, refined tannins, good fruit. Drinking nearly peak right now.

Drinking very well at this point. Still good fruit and fine tannins. Probably at its peak.

Drinking very well right now with minimal decanting. Drink up

This needs time to open. After an hour plus, it is smooth, full of black fruit flavors, and fine tannins.

It needs time to open. Once there, tannins are high but integrated well into the wine. Delicious

This needed an hour or more in the decanter to open up. It is still young with plenty of fruit and tannins. This was an early open to see how it progressing. It has years left to continue to develop

Very pleasant to drink. Not complex but good fruit and good tannin balance.

Very nice after you let it open up for 30-60 minutes. The first sip was a bit harsh and raised concerns we had let it sit too long. But it opened nicely. It has a mature, golden color and has multiple layers to it with a medium long finish. It won't get better. If you have one, enjoy it.

4/21/2021 - srshane Likes this wine:

This wine is showing well and has more potential. Give it some more time. The fruit is still strong, tannins are silky, and still developing.

4/19/2021 - srshane Likes this wine:

Great balance of tannins and red fruits. The alcohol is high and can bite some. Still drinks very well and goes with everything.

3/3/2021 - srshane Likes this wine:

Smooth. Balanced. Medium high tannins still - but fine tannins. Still has good fruit. This won't get better with more time. Drink up.

Mature but not over the hill. This is at its prime but not a lot of fruit left. Drink this in the next few months. Balanced, fine tannins. Very nice after an hour.

Jammier than usual. Still, it is what I expected and it is a good Zinfandel.

Give this time to open. A deep garnet color, clear. There remains a lot of dark fruit flavor and high, fine tannins. This wine has several years left on it. Drinking well with even a bit more potential
