Many thought this wine was past its time, so when I saw those notes, I made a point of drinking this wine this week. I was totally surprised to find the wine excellent!! I thought it had a lovely aroma of plums and berries, and the tannins were silky smooth.
I had purchased my bottle directly from the winery and it has been stored carefully ever since. Not sure if that has made a difference, but it was still an excellent zin.

This wine has peaked and its on the downside, losing some of its fruit. Tasting more alcohol less fruit. Still drinkable with decanting but drink ASAP.

Over the hill, but was okay. Some sweetness helped keep the overly stewed fruits at bay. Ripe but not insanely jammy, for a zin. Not delicate either.
