HAD ABOUT AN HOUR TO ENJOY THIS MATURE EXPRESSION OF JIMSOMARE. DELICATE, ELEGANT, MATURE. PAIRED WITH 2012 YOUNGER SISTER AND ONE COULD CLEARLY TASTE THAT THEY WERE FROM THE SAME VINEYARD.

Still doing well. Slightly acidic to start, a bit pruny and closed, but it warmed up and mellowed out nicely during the afternoon. Definitely needed some breathing to reach its best. At the end it had sweet fruit and spice. Very nice.

Started off with a volatile nose. Lots of sediment in the bottle. Upfront acids, thin, raw blackberry and a silty texture. A bit rough. Nice fruit underneath. Cola notes. Opened up very prettily with fuller body and richer fruits. Definite dustiness. Soft, but bright with a nice definition. Grew more enjoyable over time and picked up weight and undertones of pollen, brick and more berry. Really nice. Perhaps a Monte Bello signature with the dustiness?

Still very drinkable and plenty of life left in it. Not over the hill at all. A great example of an ageable Zinfandel.

A nice body. Spicy cin. and cedar. With still good black fruit.
