Black Fruit bomb with some black pepper and dust on the finnish. Not tremendous volume of tannins, but what are there are not integrated particularly well on opening...must be decanted for a while. Not sure it has the balance to last for years. Would go well with pizza or BBQ.

Fruity but not much tannin. A little bit round. Gained steam while sitting in the glass. It may need more time in the bottle to integrate. Showed pretty flat compared to a 2006 Chronicle Old Vines zin from the same evening.
