November 8, 2015 - The other night I grabbed this '05 Talty that I had slated for my Zin party last month but never was opened. Boy is this a delicious wine. No signs of slowing down with age. I may hold my next one for 10 more years. Yeah right... But it would easily make it. Bright red sweet fruit, red cherry jolly rancher candy, bramble, spice, great acidity and balanced tannins. Real fun.

March 7, 2014 - nice dark fruit with light oak on nose. Great balance on palate with dark fruit and minerality. Smooth long finish.

July 3, 2013 - Layers of blackberry, apricot, cinnabar. Smooth velvety feel with low tannins and higher acidity than common zins. Delish!
