Cork fail. Wine was oxidized. Bummer, especially since what is left of non-oxidized flavours are amazing. Probably my first spoiled Harvest Moon wine after many many bottles.

Much different than my last 12. Big fruit on the front end, plum, blackberry, Raspberry lingering for a long time with some spiciness on the mid. Strangely enough almost zero wood notes as compared to my last bottle that was almost wholly woody. This is very nice and probably will continue to drink well for a few years yet.

Showed a little better than the last bottle, as the acidity seemed more in balance. Still not great, but grilled Angus burgers seemed to be a pretty decent pairing.

14.3% abv. Recent auction purchase. This was just Ok for me. Some pruny and roasted notes detracted a bit from some decent Zin bramble flavors. Acid seemed a little out of balance. Decent, but just never came together for me. Tasted over 3 days - consistent throughout.
