May 1, 2022 - PNP. Opaque red with slight fading to the rim. Bright bramble fruit on the nose. Big burst of cherries on the palate followed by raspberries. Bracing yet still eloquent. Firm but not overbearing tannins. Bright acidity, gorgeous balance. Finishes long and vibrant with dark fruits and lots of dusty spice. Beautiful right now and for 5 to 6 years more. Throwing a very fine sediment.

December 6, 2020 - Consumed over two nights. While past its prime, I still enjoyed this. First night, not at all fragrant on opening, which surprised me. Subdued notes of blackberry and dried cherry, with evident pepper. Nice body/mouthfeel, with a long finish. Plenty of alcohol in this wine (15.8%) but it was never intrusive as I've found in other "over the hill" Zins. Second night, tobacco, cinnamon, cocoa, and graphite flavors, primarily, with the berry/cherry elements still there.
Opened a second bottle on 2/23/21 in honor of Fausto Gresini. This bottle was much better than the bottle I opened in early December, much more vibrant, less alcohol. Raised numerical score from 90 to 93, it was that much better! -
