Lovely. No tannins. Round bouquet of violets and raspberries. On pallet no tannins, and very drinkable. Enjoyed with beef and sallad with walnut, Saint agur cheese, pepper and olive oil.

Initially toasty oak dominated aromas and palate, but within abut 45" the wine opened up to a classic 'restrained' Seghesio Zin. Lots of fruit, but also some aged characteristics like faint tobacco, Sage, and even a little thyme poking here and there. No alcohol. Right in its drinking window is you ask me. Definitely not a bruiser (from a Zin perspective). Drink now. 90-92.

Excellent. Huge wine, 15% alcohol. Colour: black berry and dark chocolate. Bouquet: rich & intense, liquorice, black olives, black cherries, sweet espresso coffee. Palate: big wine, blackberry fruit, sweet upfront but dry finish, as bouquet, spice and pepper, full-bodied, fruit driven, long clean finish. Balanced, alcohol not evident - big but not hot. May 2014.

From a 3L bought upon release. Popped and poured.

Dark cherries and white pepper great balance tasted blind and nobody guess at was a big Zin! Lots of life left.
