BBQ & Zin night!

1 of 5 Turley zins tonight. This was the most unresolved of the bunch. Very little acidity which made the rush of dark fruits seem a bit flabby. Toasted oak, tobacco and spice. This needs more time to come together and I’m sure it will be delightful when it does.

16.1% alc.

In balance = YES.
Delicious = HELL YEAH...

(and no mentioning of the IPOB silliness here because when it is done right YOU have absolutely no case).

Opulent and jammy - as you would expect from Turley. Plums, blackberries, and wild berries.

No notes as I was in "drinking-mode" rather than tasting but Turley is always solid.

Reliable turley bursting with fruit and a good tartness that was almost like it had carbonation even though it didn’t.

Big and bold with a beautiful nose. Very high acidity leaving a little too much in the back of the throat.

Bursting with fruit, not at all hot given its alcohol content, a real classic.
