I really enjoy the complexity of this wine,! The earthy notes with a bit of pepper at the end and smoky wood all the way through. I know there is a fruit in here somewhere, just can't put my finger on it yet. I suppose I will have to drink more to figure it out. ....Definitely less fruity than I am used too tasting with a Zin and I am ok with that!

Light smokiness with a smooth slightly peppery finish. I really like this zin.

Dark fruit. Huge fruit bomb. Typical huge Zin, for better or worse.

Not much going on. Missing normal Zin fruity profile. Just ok.

Plums, blueberry scent with a sweet smell going down. Not too bad.

Wine is fine for me. The cork broke to pieces when trying to open it. First time that’s happened to me!

Not sure if I have had it for a while or not , since it’s 2013, but it’s VERY DRY we almost thought it was corked at first.
Giving it time to open and breath though we poured with an aerator- if it changes I will update review.
