This is holding up remarkably well for a 7 year old Zin. Plenty left in tank. Medium in body, more in the style of Storybook. Brambly with great red an blue fruit. A touch of heat on the finish, but otherwise a great bottle.

Dark color in the glass with aromas of black currants, beef broth, cinnamon, and fresh cracked black pepper. The palate shows brambly wild berries, clove and distinct black pepper in the back of the mouth with a firm tannin and acid structure. The finish is very long and enjoyable.

Maybe just a little more oak then I would normally like, but it was also filled with excellent dark fruit and spice. This wine had great structure, full body, and a nice long finish!

Dark red. Big sweet nose of red fruit but with a really nice meaty, blood thing in the background. Delicious meaty flavors and a long balanced finish.
Big but very beautiful with a bit of animal.

Notes of chocolate and very dark fruit. Great concentration, but not jammy. Almost more of a cab or sanigovese flavor profile than zin.
