Hard to find fault w/this gorgeous offering: no signs of age, really inky & dense almost immediately strutting w/vivid black & red rich ripe berry fruit along side pleasing spice, cocoa, vanilla and a hi-toned note. Sure smooth and luxurious on palate w/sweet fruit mirroring nose along with just enough tannins not to be flabby or jammy. Finish was great but holding it back for higher scores. Sort of a throwback to Zins of the 90s that I fell in love with.
