Still spicy with hints of berry. Pleasant and quite enjoyable after six years and drinkable on its own without food. I was expecting to have to discard it and was quite surprised. If you still have a bottle of this around I recommend that you open and taste it.

This was ok PnP for the first hour or so with a translucent bright, but light garnet color and flavors of light early red cherry, raspberry and baking spice. Not very spicy in the peppery sense, but with a layer of baking and Asian spice that was interesting at first. The finish seemed rather raisiny. The wine did however fall apart rather quickly and was pretty acidic and charmless by the next morning when I tasted some left in the bottle. Not Recommended though reasonably priced.

This is bad. I made this account to tell people they should not buy this. Up front I could taste the alcohol and it burned. The wine was dry but not complex, due to the aforementioned alcohol taste and feel in the mouth I didn't pick up any significant notes. Normally I associated zinfandel with oak or tobacco notes on the finish I didn't get any of that because all I could taste was dirt and alcohol. Not likeable. Next I will use the assistant to try to describe it better. Waste of $4. Walmart has $4 bottles that are better! The wine looks crimson colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like raspberry. It tastes like alcohol/hot and ethanol. The body is medium. The wine has oily texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has low acidity.

Somewhat bland and underwhelming. Not terrible but not a great flavour profile. Generally I prefer a stronger tannin finish of which there is none with this wine. Probably wouldn't buy again.

I enjoy this with lots of berry fruit and spice, vanilla and smokiness of liberal wood. Its medium bodied, not very tannic, and a bit boozy. But its fun....

Kind of a generic zin that did get a bit more spice and black pepper after some air. (Note, it was a 1.5l)

Good QPR (under $6 when purchased), but mediocre wine, and somewhat past peak.

Woody fore taste with minimal spice on the finish. Decent zin but seems to be pushed to the middle road.
