March 24, 2021 - I love this! 22 year old Zin channeling old classic Barolo. It is dark deep red but clear, with dark cherries and spice box, and fertilizer plant on the nose. The wine comes through with pepper spice, and spice cake, dark cherries, and sweet tobacco. It’s quite fluid, and super tasty.

October 30, 2016 - No rating and no change w/ second bottle in a week - at this point cooking wine only - went quite quite well in coq au vin though....

ikkaariainen Does not like this wine:
October 24, 2016 - No score - not really flawed or corked or otherwise technically bad but just WAY over the hill, way too old at this point.

February 7, 2009 - Very pleasant well matured wine. Straight forward wine with softened tannins and blends but plenty of aged fruit. Very nicely matured wine.
