Dark garnet color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of lavender, cassis and black berries. Flavors of cassis, black berries and plums. Medium to tart acidity, medium to firm tannin, full bodied. Drink now with some air.

Decanted for sediment. Experience more in line with my first bottle. Fruit is a little on the baked/jammy side and a bit lacking in structure for me. Alcohol shows a bit on the finish too. Still an overall tasty bottle of zinfandel but I would drink up if holding any while there is still some fruit to enjoy.

Drinking well, not much evidence of aging other than a general mellowing. Not overtly jammy but recognizable as zinfandel to me. Don't see any reason to hold this for this long other than as a curiosity, not sure why I did. Might be interesting to see where it is in another 5 years.

At its peak, I think. Hope so, it is my last bottle. Everything in balance, wonderful acidity at the back, crazy long finish. I really need to let these sit a while…
