Decanted for several hours. Dark burgundy color, aromas and flavors of black cherry and plum. Very soft tannins. Went well with pasta but seems a bit thin on it's own. Probably on the downhill side.

Opened and poured. A bit restrained at first, but opened up nicely during the next 2 hrs. Very smooth with lots of rich, dark fruit. Barely any heat. Excellent with steak dinner.

Nice garnet color with brown edges. Good legs on the glass. Big aromas of plums and cherry. I smell some alcohol, but it's in the background. The flavors are fairly tart with a touch of heat. I expected more from an old vine Zin. This one is sort of watered down.
