  The 2004 Martinelli Zinfandel Giuseppe & Luisa is a complex and full-bodied red wine with an intense ruby color. On the nose, it offers a bouquet of black cherries, blackberries, and hints of vanilla and cinnamon. As the wine opens up, aromas of dried fruit and sweet spices emerge, along with a touch of leather and tobacco.
  
  On the palate, this Zinfandel is rich and smooth, with flavors of ripe dark fruit, chocolate, and espresso. The tannins are firm and well-structured, providing a long and satisfying finish. The wine's acidity is well-balanced, adding freshness and depth to the wine's overall profile.

  Very smooth. Has aged well. Blackberry, plum jam, honey comb and gasoline notes. Very nice.

  Sadly my last bottle of four...consumed between November 2006 and March 2017...I think I saved the best for last...simply put, wide open from the first pour with rich dark red and black fruit...thick and viscous, almost Sauternes-like, but not sweet...long finish...our glasses emptied quickly.
