By the glass. I drank a bottle of zin from this winery almost ten years ago and wood was unbearably overwhelming. In this particular case cedar is still there in the form of tannins in the mouth or spices on the nose. Aromas of Dr. Pepper a little unbalanced on the palate between density and acidity. Clearly better than last time because ageing but without falling in love with it.
Por copas. Hace casi diez años que bebí una botella de zin de esta bodega y la madera resultaba insoportablemente abrumadora. En este caso en particular la madera sigue ahí en forma de taninos en boca o de especias en nariz. Aromas de Dr. Pepper y un poco desequilibrado al paladar entre densidad y acidez. Claramente mejor que la última vez por el envejecimiento pero sin enamorar.

Dark fruit, dry earth, orange peel, baking spice — more in a slightly savory direction, hints of pepper. Nice aromatics. The palate doesn’t quite hold the promise of the nose, and is missing a bit of depth and intensity on the palate. It’s still good, and features the same notes as the nose, but the nose feels more pronounced and evocative.

Probably should have aged it longer. Great buy though.
