A bit lean and out of balance as there is not enough fruit to offset the alcohol. It is hot on the finish which gives it a bit of an astringent finish. Decent, but there are many Zin's out there at this price point that are better.

Mellowing a bit- more balanced than bottle I had last year. Dark red fruit more lush and expressing itself more versus alcohol. Good finish.
