  Before decanting, strong smell of alcohol - probably waited a little too long to open. First sip very deep spicy flavor. Alcohol smell slowly dissipated and leaves a bite on the tongue after sipping. After decanting, creamy on the tongue still with a bite and flavors of blackberry

  A very interesting complex wine. It's texture is almost creamy. There's a strong custard/tapioca flavor, coupled with cherry, that goes long and ends in dried red fruit. Two bottle left to enjoy!

  This was an awesome Zin and the beauty has done excellent over the last 8 years. I agree this is drinking real nice right now but I also think a couple more years in the bottle will not hurt at all. Excellent color and wonderful nose with still some nice dark fruit. Taste was consistent with the nose and starts with some nice fruit and finishes with some spicy leather and very smooth textured. We let it open up for a couple hours and it made a noticeable difference. Suggest decanting or opening a couple hours before enjoying.

  Let me start by saying that I was apparently late in opening this wine. The zin had a nice garnet color. The legs if any were fast, as basically nothing clung to the glass. The bouquet was of berries leaning toward strawberry. The taste followed with elements of strawberry, cherry, blackberry, and honey flavors. The zin's body was medium, had a round texture, and left me with a medium finish. I can imagine that in its prime, there was more body, tannins, and with a bit less honey. Still a very enjoyable win.
