Nice ruby red, with purple rim. Young in colour, very consistent and crystalline. Intense-, complex and fine at nose: Fruity (blackcurrant)sweet spices (vanilla) a bit of wild and dust when opening. Mostly wood after 1 day. Dry, alcoholic and rounded. Acidic -, tannic and low minerals. Good body and tannins amalgamated, well balanced, but a bit of acidity is lacking, especially after 1 day. Nice fruit at taste, a bit weak at nose. Wood becoming overwhelming the second day.

Another wine very good a year past the drinking range. Pleasant after taste but not to heavy.

I think we waited too long to drink this. It had been sitting in the wine cellar years, wanted to clear it out to make room for the good stuff.

only my second ever Zin so not much to compare with, but for the remarkably low price it was extremely drinkable
