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

Oct 7th, 2018Deep purple red. Vanilla, clove, mint and black currant notes in nose. 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
