Now 16 years old and 3 years since the last bottle, the fruit is turning earthy. After decanting it opens up with caramelized layers of dark berry, bramble, cocoa…. Tannins resolved. It was perfect tonight.

The fruit is still fresh and dense. It's definitely more approachable than the same bottle a few years ago. And I'll wait a few for the next... 3 to go.

Realty everything you could ask for in an old vine Zinfandel. 10 years old and still very alive.

Plush and full of life. Manages to teeter on the edge of too ripe but reigns it in. Decadent and delicious

Deep purple with no hint of brick. Blackberry jam on the nose a little cooked. Rich black fruit with surprisingly tough tannin. We’llsee how the fruit emerges with a few hours.
