I wasnt expecting much out of this bottle but I was mildly surprised. Big nose of creamy raspberries, baking chocolate, black pepper and anise. Pretty silky mouthfeel with a touch of heat. The tannins that are left are drying and chalky. More notes of chocolate which reminds me of ripe grenache or cabernet. Nice balance and not your typical zin but very enjoyable and easy drinking.
