Sunday, December 30, 2007 - Inital note after opening: Deep garnet cherry color. Nose of woody earth and weak blueberry cobbler. Taste is pretty soft for a zin...not much spicy pepper, more blueberry and boysenberry. Finish is a touch tannic.
After 30 minutes: Nose is much the same. Taste is more peppery with the tannins becoming much softer. Still blue and boysenberries.
