Bottle 2 from the library case. Initial sip was some sweet fruit and then dropped off the table. Kept trying over 90 minutes and while the taste lengthened, the wine seemed over the hill. Decided to give it one more shot at the 2 hour mark, and it had fully transformed. Zin characteristics really came to the fore and the wine was balanced and quite good. I guess patience is a virtue or something like that.
