Opened for national zin day last night. First bottle was badly corked and luckily I happened to have one more. Still dark and youthful in appearance. Plenty of fruit remaining, but developing complexity with age. Wears it's 14.8% alc very well. Williams Selyem gets a lot of buzz for the ageability of their pinots, but the zins aren't too shabby either.

Amazing aromas. Slightly a little too acidic. Nice dry finish. Babs and Uncle Dan both liked it more than me. 20 years might have been too long for this wine. It did open up nicely.

Of this wine is blind I would guess CDP. Suits bois, black cherry, cedar, bakers chocolate, hints of clove. The only sign it's not CDP is the FF barrel influence. Very happy with this purchase off of Wine Bid. I think this is Jackass Hill but not on label.

A zin that's 14 years old? And still awesome? How rare is that? Tannins are gone but fruit is alive and well! Drink now but you don't have to immediately. Cherry rhubarb.
