July 5, 2015 - Cork soaked close to the top but was able to extract intact. Bricky color but retaining some red color tones. Pleasant mature wine aromas and flavors. Well-balanced with a nice finish. The fruit has clearly diminished but this was enjoyable for what it is: a 29-year-old, old-style Zin (13.0% alc) for which I originally paid $5.99 on sale at Applejack in CO.
