  Big difference two years later. I think this is on the way down. Some bramble, raspberry, raisin notes.

  Big, brambly Zin that doesn't hold anything back. Some dark fruit, a touch of raisin, earth, and supple tannins frame this wine. Despite the fairly high ABV it seems rather balanced for this style of Zin (big!). Drinking well and will probably continue to do so for the next 2-3 years. 93 pts. PJP 2016.

  Spicy finish with a little heat. Red fruit, hint of cocoa, hint of licorice. Fairly long finish. Only let decant for like 30 minutes. Probably could have waited longer. Got smoother as it opened up.

  Similar tasting notes as previous. Seemed like it needed more of a decant than what we gave it, but we were powering through some great bottles. Thinking it could use more time in the cellar. 90-92 pts. PJP 2015.

  Properly decanted (at least 3-4 hours), this wine is smooth, complex and rich.
