Strong alcohol on the nose and mouth, over powering so in my opinion. Ripe berries behind that with a little oak characteristics...meh

Liked this one, can't tell specific notes but was my least favorite out of the three Z, C and Howell Mountain

Simple. Maybe because it was after several bottles, but not a lot of wow factor. Don't let this detour you from tasting it for yourself.
