Hasn't peaked. Soft black fruit with great balance. Lingers. I personally love the hint of white pepper — 9 years ago

One of wonderful light Italian reds that goes with everything. If you are looking for tannins, don't buy this wine. If you want a balanced and complex tasting curve, you'll be very pleased with the quality of this wine — 10 years ago

10

This 2001 vintage will be LOVED by anyone who appreciates of wild wines. Forget the stupidly low price. This is a 10. There are other 10's, but they are all perfect in their own way — 10 years ago

Zin moves outta da way. BIG black fruit. Needed 10 minutes to open even after decanting. The transition was fun and the wine was glorious at the end. . At $44 it is a bargain. I'll shop for this to have at home — 10 years ago
