Opened this with two other older zins…what a revelation! Cork was still intact. Lots of fruit! Peppery, tannins almost gone but still a balanced mouth feel. Just a little port like, still a very fun wine.
Still good the second night. Great zins are age worthy.

Very typical for a Rosenblum good quality, big zinfandel. Stored in commerical cellar for several years. Cork was perfect, and wine was big and delicious. Soft tannins, big fruit and lots of cedar. Really loved it, and was pleased that after 11 years it was still superb...

Deep purple w/o any bricking. Gives the lie to the sweet spot being 5-6years for zins. Soft tannins and brambly dark fruit on the nose. Will see how the second half holds up tomorrow.
held up excellent!
