Fantastic. Enjoyed with Sherissa, Luc and Rena over grilled rib eye steaks, roasted peppers and oven roasted potatos mixed with lots of garlic and shallots. Full bodied classic Zin. Lots of deep fruit and chocolate notes. Hints of tobacco. Lovey. Decanted about an hour before eating, a small amount of sludge and deposit in the bottle - nothing particularly to remark about. Great match with dinner. The wine held up all night and was fragrant and heady right down to the last sip. Probably at or slighty past its peak. If still has this in the cellar I would say drink up in the next couple years for sure.

Drank over 2 days. Inky dark coloring. I agree with other tasters. Nose of chocolate, plum, some spice. Jammy, pepper, dark chocolate, and cedar palate. Big alcohol (~16%), but not hot or overwhelming. Would recommend decanting, a lot of sediment in bottle. Drink up!

Cellartracker Over the Hill and In the Woods Party (Judith's House): This was another zin that had faded significantly. It was drinkable, black fruit, hi alcohol, peppery. Impression now is 84pts.

This one is beyond ideal drink by date. The alcohol has taken over.
