This held up very well, although probably won't get any better. Oddly a bit sweet at first but improved after a few minutes in the glass. Rich, dark fruit, very drinkable, long finish.

Found this hidden in my cellar - I usually try to drink zins earlier than 9 years, but this has held up very well. Rich, dark fruit, spice, and a 30 second finish. Not likely to improve, so I’d drink up now. Glad I have one more in the cellar!

This was weirdly oxidized, obviously overexteacted, and nearing oblivion. You best drink now since I have pretty good storage. This was sort of the bad days of Turley 19% alcohol behemoths and thankfully that had been tamed through the years.

Opened to breathe for an hour, alcohol, fruit, and spices on the nose, on the palate sweet red fruit, faint spices and not much in the way of a complete or balanced feel. Easy to drink, to be sure, paired well with grilled rack of lamb.

Excellent fruit, muted and nice gentle spice. Years have been good to it. Drink now before the fruit fades anymore.
