April 21, 2022 - Raisin on the nose. Tastes like classic old zin but maybe too long gone. Slightly sharp on the nose. Clear and bronze on the rim. Lacking structure but lots of fruit on the palate.

April 14, 2002 - Dark, mysterious ruby color Nose of olives, raisin, dried fruit, and spicy fruit. Heavy-duty wine with port-like ripe and rich texture and broad. complex tar and dried fruit. Yummy wine that reminds us of a late-harvest Zin. 12/15.
