(Berger Blauer Zweigelt Haid) ($22.00) Boy that ’08 as such a dead-ringer for an 80s Zin, back when you could drink them, back when they gave some odd archaic thing called “pleasure.” He still has 40 cases of it, if you want it. This ’09 is rounder and shows more mid-palate tobacco and stock, rounder contours and fewer angles, less briar than the ’08; easier to “get” if you respond to warmth per se. But they’re both happy-tongue puppies, with the ’08 more mischievous and the ’09 more sedate.
