An 1986 which was my first harvest. And I believe @gunbuns 119th. Tasted great still had fruit and some nice pepper.

There's nothing like aged wine. It cannot be replicated. Started off with gym sock tinged fruit. Later it was aged Gouda. Crunchy fruit hits hard up front, then recedes to allow the wine to morph into something wholly different. Rotting flowers, velvet, leather and sour cherry linger pleasantly.

The nose has plenty of leathery funk that only comes with age, with mocha spice highlights. The palate is smooth with a cherry syrup character, and a cedar/oak-tinged lengthy finish. I can't believe this survived for 24 years.

2000 Gundlach Bundschu Zinfandel Rhinefarm Vineyard Sonoma

Ripe strawberry and pepper subtle bouquet, velvety taste, with jammy long finish.
Thank you Maureen and Allen for keeping our GB wines safe these last 14 years! What a wonderful find.

California Zin in the flesh. Deep fruits, silk, velvety Sonoma vibes.
