Friday, April 13, 2012 - I was apprehensive opening this bottle since the last one I had about 8 months ago. The previous one must have been bad because this was definitely much softer and smoother and was nowhere near as hot as the other bottle.
Hints of pepper and spice with blackberry and black cherries. Decanted about 2 hours and was good with dinner as well as after. Overall, a decent Zin.
