A fruit bomb in this lineup, but this was well poised, sappy, and delicious. Structure is there but there's considerable ripeness and "fattness" to fruit, Quite fun and easy to drink

Last of an auction find.....this bottle one point better than the last, a 94. That's with 2+ hours of air. Pnp'd for Pizza Saturday and enjoyed over the next 2-3 hours. Thin, light colored to start, gets darker and heavier as time wears on.....beautiful dark zin fruit nose....brambly, earthy, leafy notes. Still some bracing acidity and slightly noticeable alcohol. But it's a very pleasing wine and drinks as strong as many 2019 zins.

I like this.....my first of 2 bottles picked up recently at auction. This is one point better than the '13 as it is fresher, more lively with darker zin fruit, better acidity and of course more alc present. Still feels more like a zin than the '13 which feels like a cab. One bottle left to try later....

No sign of age, remains quite the full bodied wine. Great fruit, still a little hot, complex, big finish.
