What!? Amazing 17year old Paso Zin? Yup. Drinking nice. Totally integrated. The alcohol is balanced but present and adds a nice heat in the lingering spice filled finish. 👌🏻

Aromas of dried figs and plums. Slightly oxidized with bright acidity, black and red fruits and smooth tannins.

2002 still excellent. Way past its prime but still excellent. Obvious old vine Paso fruit. Save some for desert with cheese.
