Drank on steak night; dark, opaque red color, blackberry nose and taste, ripe but not overripe, still our favorite Turley zin and this was an exceptional bottle. Not too early, not too late. May try breaking my "no more than five years" rule for Turley zins for the last bottle.

found a long-lost bottle; wanted to just dump it but was convinced to try it. Really, had held up surprisingly well when first opened, but faded fast, like within 20 minutes was completely tawny and well and truly oxidized. Reminded me of an oxidative Portuguese wine from Cartuxa that was wonderful when opened, but a day later, undrinkable.

12/31/2022 drank with a nice chateaubriand on NYE. Disappointing. 2 hour decant, some settled sediment, red throughout, but very thin, hollow, and lifeless. Not corked, not oxidized, but not very good and very atypical for a MB. Had been stored at 55 throughout, so dunno what went wrong. Still holding out hope for the other bottle in a few years...
