84 Points

Sunday, February 24, 2013 - Opened and poured, this showing a thick dark ruby to purple palatte in the glass. Somewhat reticent nose, at agitation yields heat, spice, blackberry and plum. Full body, slightly bitter mouthfeel with simplistic zin notes, plum and slightly oxidized dark berry. A little hot. It would be nice if this were dialed back 2% on the ABV, then I think it would show nicer. At 15.7% ABV, this needs to find the same fruit at a lower more restrained level. Moderate QPR but can find better for sub $25. Further oxidized tar and prune and a bit flabby and hot on day two under vac-u-vin, drink now.
