Friday, February 7, 2020 - - Wife:98 !
- me:ARE YOU SERIOUS ???
- ok...96 !
- What ?!
- I had a tough week: but.... 95 at least !
For me: 93-94. So good. Ripe and oaky of course but there is complexity and finesse rarely seen in a zin. Excellent lenght.
Paired well with duck magret served with porto, blueberry and thyme sauce.

Geyserville.. next time :-)
