September 9, 2017 - OZ fest loser- but a winner for a 21 yr old zin; mild bricking w/an old nose, but still exuding lush red fruit and smooth finish

December 10, 2010 - A very interesting wine. Leather, dark fruit and a hint of soap on the nose. Dark purple with an brown edge. Good deep fruit with quite a bit of leather and tobacco. Almost ruby port-esque without the thickness or alcohol.

June 13, 2009 - Too far past its best date. Had some when it first hit the market and it was big, rich, full of Zin spices. At this point, thin and tired. Too bad.
