Very Puglian in its pedigree, this has matured nicely and shows dark brambly fruits that have gone into the dried spectrum. Something faintly volcanic and sooty here, with dusty tannins and a sour berry crunch from the acidity. Lucious and rounded, it's quite versatile with food unlike a lot of Zin.

this was still a solid wine. No longer the intense fruit and spice from when I tried upon release. Tannins softened and there was enough fruit to enjoy this wine with a nice pizza. Drink up, no reason to hold.

Its been a while since I've visited a Zin. It felt big and definitely got better after it opened up. But it still seemed a little coarse. Maybe this is a case of younger being better for this wine.

Last bottle was enjoyable and tasty, this one didn't have anything left so either it's gone or just a bad one.

This bottle was okay. Not what I typically expect from a Zin.
