Thursday, December 26, 2019 - As with the 13 I last had, this shows wonderful liqueured red berry fruits(raspberry), brambly, with a tart snap...loaded with crunchy crushed rocks and dusty earth tones...savory red licorice...bright and energetic. Not as "elegant" as that 13 showed, and 16.2 abv is showing more than the 15.4 did on the 13. LOVE the florals of dried potpourri and cherry wood smoke...as well as the classics of white pepper spice, sweet tar, and forest floor. As with the 13, it does integrate nicely with more air...but would definitely prefer the 13 for that elegance and less heat. Still...these Hayne's are SO distinct from all the other Zins Turley produces...a special terroir evident...exactly what I want in my Zin!
