Confirm the previous bottle, but more mature and equilibrated. Red fruit's hints (cooked plums and wild cherries), and some chocolate/tobacco. Still lower acidity at taste, but with good fruit, and mild sweet spices (Vanilla, cocoa).

Very nice dark ruby red, little transparence; purple rim; consistent Intense smell, complex and fine. Mainly wood spices (VANILLA!!); and fruty (red fruit); second day more equilibrated. Dry, alcoholic (13,5%), rounded - med. acidity and med. tannic; med. minerals Nice fruit and wood; Intense, persistent (but mainly wood, not body) and fine. Body--; Equlibrated-; armonic
Too much wood for italian taste; better second day. A bit weak in body and acidity. A good wine anyway.

Smooth, mature Zin. Was pleasant, and somewhat ripe. If you have any left, drink it now. Not much time left.
