Nose of rich black cherry, black berry, and dusty earth, same on the palate, big body, slightly past the peak drinking window, great with NFL Football and roasted turkey, time to drink up if you own it, still rich, lively, with mouth filling fruit, and a long, flavorful finish.

Nose of rich black cherry, dusty earth, and allspice, same on the palate, big body, at it's peak and easy to enjoy with roasted turkey, rich fruit, mouth filling fruit, glad I held this bottle in the cellar all this time, holding well but more cellar time will produce no tasting benefit for me, and a long, flavorful finish.

Juicy fresh Zin without too much heat. Chewy red and black fruit with just a bit of sweetness to it. Tannins in the background but enough to give it some structure. Long finish.

This one came across as a bit more jammy and one dimensional. After about an hour, some development, but the alcohol also started showing through. After about an hour and a quarter, the bottle and my glass were empty, so I guess it was pretty quaffable.
Drink sooner rather than later.

Pop and pour. Super smooth and delicious. Big fruit (duh) but not jammy. Drink now.
