My dog Zinny loves this wine. He says the nose shows sweet, oozy blackberry, moist gravelly earth, and baking spice. In the mouth, it's so soft, with lots of brambly, barky notes, almost like a Bandol but riper and less structured. Lingering finish. At its apogee. Sadly, my last bottle of this one.

Nov 22nd, 2016Elegant, rich nose of ripe blackberry, maple syrup, tobacco leaf and almost Chianti Classico-esque gravel. Velvety soft and nicely balanced, but with intense flavors. Alcohol is 15% but it's not noticeable at all. I always feel like I'm drinking history when I have a wine with 100+ year old vines.

Evening at home with the only kid a furry one. Zin smells of anise, dark chocolate, licorice.
