Decanted for an hour. Serious bottle variation here. This bottle was nothing like the previous ones I've had from this vintage. Please refer to my previous notes for comparison. Reddish purplish hue. The nose was flat. So was the palate. Weak and flabby. Would never have guessed this to be a Del Dotto zin. It's like the wine fell apart. No heft or body. Fruit was weak with nothing interesting on the finish. Just an average run of the mill quaff. Very disappointing. I hope my two remaining bottles are not like this one. Drink 'em now if you got 'em.

Decanted for over two hours. Served with Thanksgiving dinner. Deep purple/black hue. A rich, yummy zin that goes so well with traditional Thanksgiving fare. So luscious and delicious. Not much spice on the end as is typical with most zins but very tasty just the same. Always a crowd pleaser. Drink or hold.
