My last bottle of one of the last great bottlings of the Le Cuvier Zinfandel. No longer the vibrancy and fruit purity of its youth, but still an enjoyable quaff. Those of you with bottles still in your cellar, it is time to drink it up.

Brilliant effort still going strong. Drank at the end of dinner at Luciana's in Dana point - a dessert in itself. Lots of boysenberry though not at all jammy. Just wonderful aromatics.

Nose of chocolate and red fruit; notes of plumb, dark chocolate and black pepper; chambord, giving way to a burst of fruit and lingering finish; still vibrant after all these years.

Nice with age, very aromatic black fruit, smooth and luscious on the palate, though slightly alcoholic towards the finish. Of 17 zins tasted, this was in the top 4 on most charts

This is the wine that got me hooked on wine when I tasted it in barrel. Extreme fruit bomb. Lacked much depth, but a joy to drink nonetheless. Glad I have 7 more.

Kudos to Jonh Munch. Who else makes a Zin that can age like this? I am glad I have a few more bottles.

Complete fruit bomb. Lacking complexity, but absolutely scrumptious.
