This is still very much alive. A little pruney on opening, but that settled over the evening. Give it a few hours decant. On night two, quite a bit more acid. This honestly tastes about 10 years younger than it is. As is often the case with these, you just have to give them a bit of air. Last sip is often the best.

Opened and poured an hour before dinner. Black pepper, dark cherry color. Nose is a bit alcohol. Dinner was steak and it was terrific with this wine. Bottle poured out over three of us.

POP last night with a little bit spicy pasta. lowe expectations but still plenty of fruit and that black pepper spice common to Ziegler Zins. Botte didn't survive the evening so well enjoyed by all

After drinking French wine for the last week or so, this felt a little one-dimensional. Also seems like it's got less fruit than past bottles. Drink up!

Still so much pepper and fruit. Followed a very nice cab so maybe not perfect palate but still wonderful. Our last bottle.
