Wednesday, April 30, 2014 - It shall be noted that I’m perhaps not big a Zin fan (rather far from), but really…?
This is not a top producers, but still very much the same, and I would not be able to tell the differences, had it been.
The nose is hot, full with alcohol, oak, oak shavings, burnt and toasted oak and burnt and toasted grapes with some burnt rubber and burnt coffe on top.
Able to find some hints of blueberry jam, blackberries, vanilla and raisins in this mess of a burnt out camp fire.
Actually rather interesting nose, I felt like one of those after the fire investigators you see on TV sometimes, investigating arsons.
On the palate its hot and a jammy mess of blackberries, blueberries and plums, with some spicy raisins and vanilla on top.
Had it with a grilled steak, but it destroyed the steak, so had to open another bottle.
Imo., avoid, unless you are in to big, jammy, unsophisticated, messy, alcohol filled and overdone wines.
In that case, this would be great and you would probably love it.
