  Bright red fruit, baking spices, and depth of flavors. A lot going on. Still good acidity. I wish I had more, as this wine seemed way younger than it's calendar age.

  Open a couple of days and no discernible decline. Bright red fruit with a wide swath of citrusy acidity. Color just hinting at bricking. This seems on the verge of its decline, so I'm doing to drink my last bottle sooner rather than later. Enjoyable.

  Great example of a well aged Swan Zin. Energetic red fruits, nice Mancini spice and some secondary flavors of damp earth all melding together in a medium weight package. Hasn't really moved much from the bottle consumed in 2009 which bodes well for the future. If you have more than one of these now is the time to open, if not I could see this going several more years easy. Plenty of acidity and enough bright fruit to hit the 20yr mark.
