  Similar to previous, but maybe getting a tad soft in the middle. Still some lovely clove and nutmeg and baking spice hints that stay into the finish and still more tannic grip than most Zins. Suspect this is not getting any better with more age, unless it takes on some new second life.

  Enjoyed this a lot again. Seems to have smoothed out a bit, but still plenty lively. I'm not sure there's a lot of upside in waiting, but suspect the wine will hold on another couple years just fine.

  Très solide, beaucoup de fruit, net et goûteux.
  
  Pourrait tenir 4 ou 5 ans sûrement.

  Big chalky nose. Still firm tannin, alcohol strong at first but mellows.

  Subtle forest and flowery nose. Big cassis with a touch of strawberry and an iron tinged finish. Beautifully textured and fun to drink.
