Bought this at the winery I guess in 02- Lots of cherry and mocha on the nose with a hint of black pepper- Taste was nicely rounded with none of the big fruit- sadly for the alcohol at 14.5% was showing through more than I would have liked - My wife was fine with but overall a wonderful aged zin- Oak was in check - if the alcohol level had been toned down a bit this def would have reached the 90 point range- this wine was had with a brined bone in pork chop and would not have been suitable for BBQ at this point in its life-

This Zin is holding up well after 15 years. It's still very drinkable.
