Community Tasting Note

Monday, August 17, 2020 - Bought a 12b case from a local independent shop for 8+/b 5 years ago; this is #5. Dark purple; fragrant berry and briary nose that follows on the palate, bit of fruit fade over 90 minutes, good mouthfeel. This is delicious for an everyday zin but won't improve and needs drinking. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: For me, scores on a "100-point scale" are misleading. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. This is notable+ when considering quality, age, and price.
