Vibrant fruit and nice mid-palate lift lead to a lingering finish. Leather, licorice, pomegranate, spice box. It is hot but the fruit shows now. Lots of negative reviews here, try it again.

Dark fruit and earth on the nose but unfortunately, the spice and red berry characteristics one would expect from a zin are no longer present. There is very little to speak of on the mid palate and only acidity and subtle ripe earth undercurrents are suggested on the short finish. It is surprising that a zin would dissipate so quickly so to be fair, I will not rate this wine in case my experience is isolated and either the bottle or my senses are off. However, for credibility's sake, my wife had an identical experience with this bottle. I suggest that if any of you have a 2006, open it now, it can only get worse.
