Corked.
Tragically, corked. Evident upon PNP and no change after 2 hours of decanting. Only second Dominus for me to try (first was the 1984 vintage which was a fun experience), so a little upset. Purchased from <winebid.com>. I’ll move on to the 2008 next week and hope for a success ��.

2015 Turley Zinfandel Old Vines

This wine struggles at the outset with a dominating aroma of wet forest floor mold. Fortunately, the fruit traits set in after the initial front load of mold and loam on he palate. Red fruit flavors of cranberry, raspberry, pomegranate and red plum, as well as some black berry notes and hints of vanilla. Seemed to improve after a couple of hours breathing, but this “old vine” doesn’t deliver the characteristic old vine essence, lacking the briary, bramble essence characteristic in true old vine Zins. Overall, mediocre wine from a purportedly good Zin maker.
