Second tasting, nine months after first. Inky purple red. Highly extracted color, some sediment so good clarity at best. Wood, minty, leather notes in nose. Vanilla, mint, black currant flavors dominate with a hint of cola, later tar and spice, 24 hours later, plum with length. Mild skin astringency finish, well balanced. Not as complex as previous tasting, but better integrated. It’s a relative cheapie; no more aging - drink up

Mint, vanilla, black current flavors in mouth, later plum, cherry, cola and tar with length, slight spritz with chewy seed bitterness in finish. A good fruit forward Zin with flavor complexity, though not much in the way of tannin structure

Out original turkey wine didn't cut it, so we benched it and put this guy up to bat. Home run!

Capa alta densidad alta, en nariz vainilla, cacao y frutas rojas maduras. En boca buena entrada , algún defecto en el paso y final agradable y largo... Le falta suavizar

I am not an expert on Zinfandel (or primitiv, for that matter), but that was basically what I Experten. Very strong fruit, some spices and Vanilla and some sweetness. Wenn well with Chili
