14% alcohol for RR Zin so expected some restraint which is appreciated but lacked that fresh Zin fruit profile that I do like in young Zin's!

Bland & boring

Delicious wine. Balanced without too much fruit, interesting finish with moderate tannins and a hint of pepper.

This is a really great wine - beautiful earthy nose, bursting at the seams with fruit, long, elegant finish. I might give the 2012 vintage a few more years to quiet down the fruit. This is surely a youthful Zin though.
