  Full bodied but fruit component somewhat subdued. Nearing end of life

  Blackberry, black olive, earth and leather. Rosemary? Still showing a generous measure of fruit. Initially, there's even still a tart element to the finish, but this gives way to more sanguine elements after the first hour. Not much diminished since my last tasting score 4 years ago.

  This is a very, very good Zin. I agree entirely with CDT’s comments - two reviews back:
  
  “Dark ruby in colour with aromas of sweet black fruit, dusty earth & herbs(sage?). On the palate, full bodied juicy black fruit, boysenberry/blackberry, sweet tobacco, leather, dusty earth, cherry kirsch, medium acidity, medium soft tannins with a long finish to black pepper & chocolate. Very tasty & easy to drink Zinfandel.”
  
  This Zinfandel is so well balanced that it has a great range of pairing and/or can be drunk by itself. Extremely pleased with this wine.

  Perfect time, smooth and delicious, with nice spice. Tannins and pepper mellowed out.
  Had with marinated pork chops.
