Prunes in a good way on open. Got flabby and syrupy after an hour or so. Drink. It’s done.

Ok. Not the easiest vintage in SONOMA. You’d never know it. Seamless, complex aromas of sweet tobacco and blackberry and herb and soil. Started with a little oxidation but woke up to deliver its message of power Zin.

Holy heck one does not always expect a Zin to age well. But this worked. Thanks @David L for getting me into this wine! You get all the spice and ripe red fruit you'd expect in a zin that was 2-5 years. But at 11 years the complexity was garnished by leather and raisin notes. Cool wine. I plan to taste the recent offferings of Martinelli!

Not my cup 'o tea. The 17.6% alc was the only thing holding the wine together (barely). Very curious to know what this 2000 Zin tasted like when it was released and how it progressed...
