First of four bottles tasted. Ruby, medium dark but some translucency. Excellent zin aromas of mostly red fruits. Young, fresh flavors, some heat from the high alcohol but did not detract. We still slightly prefer Turley's Dusi and Ueberroth but this was in the same class. It did not change when we finished it the next night.

Fifth bottle tasted since 2017, arguably the best. It's still garnet, with no amber edge, but it has become slightly translucent. Powerful aromas typical of this wine, the first Reynvaan we ever tried, vintage 2007. The same Northern Rhone style of roasted meat, toasted French oak, and blackberries. Rich and full on the palate, perfectly balanced, no significant tannin. The finish is long and fabulous. I had thought it might start to decline by now but not at all. Still at its peak, should have several more years there.
