A gift from the owner that was given to us 5 years ago. Finally opened it up and it was still holding on. Smelled awesome. WOuld never guess zin at this point. Earthy, leathery, cherry. Mouthfeel had thinned out and showed some bitterness on finish which took away from the experience but still loved every minute.

2 Chard, 8 Zins, 2 Ports: At 11, I thought this was a pretty impressive showing. The group was split on it though. Inky purple in color. The nose is big with iodine and black raspberries and some alcohol. It was served a bit colder which I believe helped it. Nice black raspberries and bramble on the palate. Nice texture. Some tannins. Very nice.
