With age on this bottle, there was a big turnaround in this wine's balance. Sharp peppery edges have disappeared and the fruit-driven flavors have melded into an really enjoyable bottle. Dark purple color, attractive nose of blackberry and black current translates onto the palate, with round tannins and added flavors of bramble in the background leading to a short but very pleasant finish. Great food wine now, try it with anything grilled or smoked for an extra treat.

Very thin, no pop. Do taste fruit on the front end but has a sour finish.

Thin, not much fruit, almost unrecognizable as a zin.
