Classic and well done. Nose is extroverted and deep, with dark spicy blackberry, baking spice, and warm stony gravel. Mouthfilling, with rich ripe blackberry fruit, a little bit of Graves-like cigar box, and gravelly minerality. Acids are a touch low and it’s a bit pulpy, but it does not skimp on flavor, and it avoids the overripeness, heat, and sweetness of so many Zins these days.
