12 hour decant, Blind tasting. A beautiful wine. Refined and elegant. Totally gorgeous !! All aspects of this wine was pure enjoyment. I had a score of 96-97. The only thing holding this wine back was the missing explosive vibrancy found in higher quality vintages. Overall an outstanding wine.

12 Hour decant. Blind tasting, a big wine with deep dark color. You could sense the quality by the powerful nose which exhibited a presence of toasted oak and dark berries. The first sip I was able to easily appreciate the silky, supple and refined tannins. The only problem I found with this wine was the twang or sour mid-pallet. To me it was momentarily unpleasant. The save wax when I hit the finish, which lasted 30 to 40 secs. Overall this wine is very well put together and clearly a high quality wine.

WOW!! Just fantastic. Sweet fruit filled nose, actually made my mouth water. This bottle blew me away. It was my only bottle, I wish I had more. The allocations for Zin from WS is small. I will buy this every time I am offered. The wine was smooth and tasty. So much fruit yet not overpowering at all.
