An abrupt, alcohol intense nose initially. The wine shows a bitter, astringent acidity that mellows to a pleasant aftertaste. A light plum and spices of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg - perhaps a hint of other 'forest' fruits. A solid effort but not exceptional by any means, any worse and it would be below-average.

Beautiful nose. Very simple, nice red fruit, but pedestrian and a little bitter. Weak finish and disjointed finish.

Drank along with the 2006 Wellington Zin. No comparison. This continues to be very sharp/acidic and not balanced. Not very good.

Not good, hardly any smell. Indeed, it tastes bitter.
