A solidly delicious experience - if you like the fruit forward, rich wine style. My last try was 2012, and this drinks well. Tons of dark red/berry fruit and some brambly notes with some spice on the long finish. Full bodied and nice level of acid and smooth'ish tannin. Will do well into 2016+.

As per last note in Feb...similar, a little better experience. Still pricey for style, but I like this enough that i ordered the '10 and its other cousin, plain old '10 Zin...will put all these down for a good 1-2 yrs.

Zin-fuuuusion struck again. Solid wine that lacks the complexity of its peers.
