Ok, this has to be *the* most unique and incredible Zin I've ever tasted. The nose and pallet have a mind-blowing immediate honeycomb flavor, which blends seamlessly into the fruit and slight peppery notes.

This wine is no joke, big everywhere. Great aromas of fig compote, rum cake, vanilla, berries, and tobacco. Mouth is rich and structured, feel a little heat.

Just like I love my Zins. Jammy. On the nose cinnamon, cherries and blackberries. A tad sweet, dark cherries, tiny acid. Dark love.

Ok so here's the dilli. You like Zin like I like Zin. One word. Beekeeper! Full, dark, so scrumptious, Scrumptious is a sophisticated wine word. FYI

Really good. Everything well balanced. Fruit, tannins, all that other stuff too.
