  Not quite crystalline clear garnet.
  Big styled Martinelli zin, gushing with sweet fruit and a slightly licorice finish. High alcohol that doesn’t get lost despite the big fruit. Impressive, and delicious if you like the big style.

  Medium purple and somewhat cloudy. Medium plus intensity aromas of blackberry, black currant, blueberry, briar, cedar. This is a full bodied Zen with still significant heat from the alcohol and a pallet that matches the aromas. The finish was medium plus and I would rate this as a good wine it should be drunk now and may improve with age

  Dark fruits are starting to fade just a bit, but balance is still there ( for a Zin that is 16 % alcohol) and has a very long finish.
