I think it's one of the following: A) Not yet ready to be opened. (Needs a few years.) B) Needs to be decanted for awhile. C) Not a good year. D) Or my pallet has advanced since I last tried an Old Moon.
Wife says it's "bricky and mild. Seems to lack complexity but drinkable. Not necessarily to be savored, but drinkable enough to get you drunk."
I think it's a little tart, or bitter, or tannin-y. I'm not sure what that taste is I'm getting, but it's not fruity or full or spicy.

NIcely aged fruity Zin with low tannins and a full mouthfeel. Like inviting an old friend for dinner. Beautiful color.
