Nice and balanced. Red fruit and just a little bit of milk chocolate. Some acidity on the end at the beginning, which blows off with time. Does not have a lot of heat, which is good.

Smells o fcherry and alcohol (like a liqueur), pretty translucent, thin color in contrast to what is a big smell and what was later a fairly big body. Chocolate. A little bkackberry.
Delicious brambly berry and cherry and pepper. Finish is acidic and long. A little bit of a stemmy aftertaste or it would be much better.
Don't know why everyone rates the 2003 so much higher. I had a bottle of it a while back and remember not being particularly impressed. This was supposed to be worse but I am pleasantly surprised.

An average zin. Nothing particularly special one way or another.
