Top Notes For
Tree Kilpatrick

Silly label. Bottle is massive. Aroma is old books, smoke of wet brush, and berry compote. Flavors are smooth and concentrated. Zin flavors for sure. Jammy, ripe and big. Still. 12 years on. Hints of brandy with the 15.9% abv. This is an interesting bottle. A bit much, but still pretty on brand for the Lodi style of Old Vine Zin.
