Past its prime for sure, fruit was mostly gone. Spicy and tasty, continued to open nicely for several hours. Not a typical Zin taste, certainly not the usual Rombauer fruit bomb, but still good.

Seems as though nearly all the fruit is gone at this point. It tastes of raisins and dried figs. It's got enough flavor and alcohol that it's almost port-like, but dry.

A big nondescriptive fruit bomb. Could not detect any specific scents. Tasted sweet at entry and acid and tannins following. Gift from Lloyd. Hope the chard is better

Nothing left compared to the 06 or 07. The Napa Valley and Fiddletown are so much better than the bottom tier Zin from Rombauer. Too bad can only get from the winery if you're lucky.
