Sunday, September 27, 2020 - First Dinner at the Farm (Pokai Parera, Ekatahuna, New Zealand): Very aged and developed Zinfandel nose, with great ripeness and suggested sweetness. Some caramel, dark fruits, oxidative nutty character. In the mouth, very ripe, super structure, very much alive. Fabulous intensity, richness and the warm alcohol adds wonderful dimension to this wine.Silky mouthfeel. A Zinfandel that has transformed with age, and has not just changed character. While I think I would have preferred it when first released, this wine is ageing extremely well! Stunning with a Braised Oxtail with Chorizo and figs, which really proved a food link to wine. At its best with food.
