Tremendous nose, tons of fruit, complexity (darkness), length and finish, etc. Just too dry and tannic for my taste in zins. A bit over the hill, perhaps? And a dismal QPR besides.

Classic over the top style, highly concentrated, super dark and rich. Unfiltered, very ripe dark fruit. some leathery notes. drink now or forever hold your peace. this vintage is done.

Opened and decanted 2 hrs prior to consuming. Cork broke, lots of sediment. Almost black in glass. I usually love T-Vine zins, so I think missed the window on this one - lots of chew, and fruit had mellowed, but vinegary bitterness creeping in. Finish was not great, and not much of the earthiness I usually see in their zins. Too bad.
