May 1, 2017 - Stored perfectly at 55 degrees since purchase. Still in good shape. Ready now. Fully developed. Delicious. No heat. Fruit perfectly sings together. Well past it's prime but still spectacular.

April 7, 2014 - We enjoyed a flight of 2004 Biale Zins (04 Aldo's, 04 Old Crane Ranch, 04 Grande Vineyard, 04 Monte Rosso and 04 Black Chicken). The wines, not bad, were not impressive outside the Monte Rosso. It was a baby and had years ahead of it. The Black Chicken was number 2 and the most jammy of the group. Grande Vineyard was showing burnt brown sugar and Aldo's was balanced but uninspiring. The Old Crane Ranch was more bad amarone than anything else. Not appealing at all.

April 5, 2014 - Consumed as part of a flight of 2004 Biale Zins (04 Aldo's, 04 Old Crane Ranch, 04 Grande Vineyard, 04 Monte Rosso and 04 Black Chicken). Very consistent with my prior note on this wine almost 5 years ago. Still displaying quintessential zin notes and fresh at the ripe age of 10.
