Took this to our favorite restaurant and everyone enjoyed it! Great balance in this bottle of fruit, tannins and acidity. Dark bramble fruit, a hint of vanilla and nice spice. You'll want to decant this as there was quite a bit of sediment in this bottle.

Not as good at the 2012 Russian River Old Vine Zin from two nights ago, but still mighty fine. Aerated for about 45 minutes prior to drinking. Nice and dark in the glass ... no brown tinge. Dark bramble fruit on the nose and palate with a little vanilla and spice. Just a little residual 'heat' in the mouth that lowered the score a little.

Another wonderful bottle. Be sure to watch for sediment when aerating ... and let it set for about an hour ... you'll be rewarded.
