Strange molasses nose on first whiff, which made me want to jitterbug twirl the thing expecting a transition based upon my light-footed dexterity; however, the molasses nose hung around until post decanting, pouring through an aerator, and continued floor play when it finally settled down to more of a well-kept distant barnyard affect. In the glass it visually manifests as leaf lined stream running through a starless night under the cover of a thick forest. All that darkness lights up when it makes its inky entrance and reveals a bright blast of blueberry gradually layering into a red fruit coating as it leisurely lingers hanging on to every bit of surface it can find before tumbling its way into its ultimate physiological act where it's interesting blend of analgesic magic and endorphinic (my word) benefits. Here's to this bad-ass Zin and its crazy spin, skål🍷😎🌀 — 10 years ago

Just popped the top and within a few minutes of me playing, swirling, sipping, observing, it is beginning to show its true color and related characteristics. Good spice on the nose peppering and prepping for the rush of tight cherries coupled with black and blue berries begging to let lounge a bit longer finding its place in the decanter before a turbo twirl or two and a slow pour into a pinotesque bowl and related smokestack begging for twisting, turning and jitterbug spinning until dizzy enough to lie down and slow dance across one's palate clinging front back and center with tannins still pulling a cheek biting pucker then drifting home but not before leaving its memory layer languishing linear and long. A Gamay gift from Beaujolais...🍷💙🌀 — 10 years ago
