This wine is drinking beautifully now. Full bodied with lots of character and a wonderful finish. Velvety smooth and drinking like a $300.00 bottle.

I'm having a difficult time rating this wine......Perhaps, as difficult a time as planning a food match with it. This wine is somewhat of an enigma.
Initially, it came across as a full, ripe, yet an unusual wine. At one point through the evening, while still somewhat chilled, it actually tasted delicious. However, as it warmed up....it lost it's charm.
This is a big....no...actually a HUGE wine. This wine needs to be paired with something equitably as huge.
We were drinking the wine along with several cheeses. One was a Borgonzola. The wine was outstanding with this cheese. As well, I might pair it with a smoked meat of some type. Possibly smoked tenderloin of elk or venison. These are both large in character, yet would work in concert with the acidity and strength of this Chenin Blanc.

Enjoyed with appetizers and cheeses New Year's Eve 2012. This Zin continues to evolve and surprise. Still drinking beautifully with no sign of letting up. Still a 92 in my book.
