January 27, 2017 - It smells like totally vibrant apples. Very surprisingly decent. Really rich, dense palate, and pretty darn smooth and nice. Kind of soft tannins, and a little nastiness on the finish. But overall pretty impressively balanced for a zin of this age. It's better than it was on release.

March 8, 2016 - We forgot about this bottle until rearranging cellar. Worried about it going downhill but was pleasantly surprised. It started out hot and smoky but mellowed and tasted bold like a bold dry creek zin and we drank over 2 days- and it just got better.
