Dug up from the "cellar" after the 11+yr away. T was given this on a Cali trip WAY back when. Pretty sure the storage conditions on this one were less than optimal but wow it held up. Darkest of red fruits in a powerful but soft kind of way. The 16% alc is apparent but not obnoxious. The most gentle tertiary tone trying to come thru. I was expecting more of it and kind of wanted it. While an enjoyable experience, not one to make me chase Zin.
