45th Birthday Celebration (Chez Nanda): Wow, zinfandel from a time capsule. This is still very youthful, rich and bright. Terrific zin character and expression with plenty of peppery spice.

"You only turn 45 once" (Chicago, IL): Fully mature, this has lost a lot of the unpleasant characteristics that zinfandel can have. It shows a nice amount of spice, with a lovely red fruit tone that you don't see in modern zinfandels anymore. Not over the top at all, but fully resolved with a nice menthol-based coolness.
