March 31, 2020 - First impression: WOW! Aromatics that showed the tangy sweetness of Amador fruit - a handful of Blackberries; mostly sweet with the occasional tart one. That, coupled with the briary herbaceous, most often found in the Zins of Dry Creek Valley.
...but it didn’t take long to turn to, OH?..I see! - Markedly over-ripe and so, what I’m guessing to be an effort to artificially acidify it, to mask some of that. Only with this bottle do I understand why they are late-releasing their wines - to soften the Frankenstein angularity. It’s clear this wine could fool the inexperienced but I’ve been drinking Zins for way too long... 93 pls. for the uninitiated. I more accurate/fitting score from me.
