Blackberry essence with alcohol up front ( Didn't notice as much on the first bottle I had ). Hints of licorice, tobacco and an ever present blackberry spice that keeps you coming back for more.Another excellent offering that is propelling Gus and Paulette to Zin stardom. My new pet project is acquiring mags of these big zins to see if they age longer. Still like the 94

Caramelly blackberry nose, blueberry and blackberry cobbler with hints of tar, tobacco and licorice on the palate. A mildly astringent blackberry twang on the finish. OUTSTANDING!

A really nice PS, not as tannic as Foppiano's Sonoma County offering. Black fruit forward in the nose and on the palate. Nice finish.
