Kind of a mixed bag on reviews of this. Definitely changed rapidly after decanting (for the better). Diet Cola flavors blew off to a more delicate fruit, licorice, and earth complexion. Enjoyed but not savored.

Did not take notes as enjoyed at a bbq with friends. Given prior notes I was surprised it was drinking this well. Very mellow for a Zin and fruit profile was more dried fruit than briary high intensity Zin fruit - that is somewhat from the age of the wine and the age of vines. In a very good place and the prior taster describes it well. 90-91 range and would buy again.

Nearly opaque violet color with reserved aromas of black currant, pepper, baking spice and cherry. On the palate, it's medium-bodied and silky smooth with soft tannins, and black cherry, spice, and blackberry flavors. Medium-long finish. Drinking very well!

Rich deep dark purple color. Big nose, spice and dark fruits. Great hints of blackberry, currents and black cherries. Pepper and licorice as well. Silky,long finish. Nice bottle.
