Previous notes are ‘13: this ‘14 was excellent as well though noted heat, and a more traditional CA Zin flavor profile. Built for long haul w/impressive concentration & extraction- Won’t touch for at least 5 yrs or so + LONG decant

Really tasty - opulent style, inky dense full of dark fruit, cassis, vanilla - decadent fruit driven style, if a bit one dimensional... all these wines are very well made and this is still young. Great mouthfeel & length on finish.
