Dark garnet color with light-medium body. A bit of fruit left on the nose--currents and forest floor. The wine has gone a bit flabby. Since we have had this before and it has been really good, it is just past its prime. Those of you with some in the cellar it is time to drink up. Nothing positive will come from additional aging.

Clearly this is past it's prime. This was an 89 points 2 years ago when I last drank it. Finish any supplies soon. The wine looks Garnet colored. It smells like Prune, and Light toast. It tastes like and Sherry. The body is Medium/Full. The wine has Round texture. The wine finishes Medium.

I bought a couple of these in Corning NY in Oct. 2009 for $30 ea. and put them away. I was digging through my collection tonight and noticed them hiding at the bottom of the rack. Worried about the the age I immediately opened one of them. When I pulled off the foil the cork had soaked through to the top but thankfully it was still good. This is a fantastic wine, big soft and jammy, notes of chocolate, blackberry, a bit of oak and spice. YUM!!! Still have one more. Yay!
I too love this style of Zin. Reminds me of Cigar Zin!

P&P. Hot and overly extracted.
