December 9, 2022 - Still good at 21 years old. Save it for the cheese course and biscotti/cookie tray. Fruit still there. Stewed plums. Very dry. Slightly outside the suggest drinking window of 5 years PD suggested but still very enjoyable.

December 6, 2014 - Amazing! Purchased on release through ATP and forgotten for 11 years. Absolutely gorgeous. Still dark scarlet with no bricking. Tons of still primary fruit, raspberry and creme de cacao. 14.3% totally hidden. Lots of sediment.
Yes. Zins should be drunk within 5-7 years, ... Unless they're from Ridge. Bravo! This seems timeless. Holding strong.2 people found this helpful Comment -
