More please. 2nd bottle this month and it didn't disappoint. Sweeter than expected with good, strong legs. Hint of pepper as it opened. Taste of cassis and black currant.

A lot of heat on the nose, which made me look at the bottle and realize that it shouldn't be surprising that it's 15.8% alcohol. What did surprise me was how strangely sweet the wine was; it was very port-like which makes me wonder if this bottle is past it's prime. Or whether or not I've been drinking way too much tonight. Or both.

Fantastico. Glad we held onto this. Very smooth and jammy. Not as spicy as a zin would suggest and in this case, that's a good thing.
