My cousin brought this bottle to Thanskgiving dinner after keeping it in his office for five years. It was mildly corked, probably as a result of the less-than-ideal storage conditions, but still enjoyable. Great nose and powerful blackberry fruit. Finishes dry. An excellent old-vine wine - not fat or port-like like many Zins. I wish I had tasted it two or three years ago. Would have been worthy of a 92 rating without the flaw.
