Such an elegant zin. Slight herbaceous and cedar notes give way to dark red fruit, thick tannins, and excellent acidity.

beautiful, restrained Zin. A bit earthy with red fruits.

This bottle wasn’t near the level of my previous bottles of this wine. The fruit was less full and, as a result, the acidity seemed too prominent.

Gave it an 8 hour decant and wish I'd given it 18. The last glass was amazing.

A really pretty, well balanced Zin. Nice nose, great plate of blue and black fruits, minerals and good acidity. smooth medium+ finish. Could see further development but no reason to not drink now.

Really nice with an hour in the decanter. Rich, smooth, mildly spicy, and never heavy or jammy. Almost velvety in the mouth. Should've taken all I was offered. Lesson learned.
