  Fully mature and still drinking well - at peak for my taste or barely past. Had during busy Thanksgiving dinner.

  Medium red, not clear. Nose has over ripe strawberries, strawberry liqueur and cocoa. A little hot, glycerine, resid sugar, velvety with super ripe blackberry fruit. Enough acid. Good wine with strongly flavoured food (Thai) but not my prefered style. 17.3% alcohol. Blind, would have guessed Lodi, not Russian River Valley.

  Drinking beautifully. Deep and rich, with balanced black fruit. Zins do not get much better than this. There is no hurry to drink this.

  A much better bottle than our previous bottle in July '20 - probably because we decanted it for 40 minutes before enjoying. The wine came together and darkened during the decant.
  The color was a medium plus violet. Dark red fruits and some spice on the nose. The palate showed a significant amount of spice and pepper, but also a good amount of dark red and bright red fruits, along with a touch of earth. The acidity was juicy, but balanced the fruit rather than outpacing it, and any tannins were completely integrated. The wine may hold for another year or two, but it may be best to enjoy it now - with significant air up front.
