This wine gets great ratings. I thought it was unbalanced. Hot.

Super round and balanced--gee whiz. A million percent alcohol but you'd never know. Fun label recalling this wine's first appearance in the 1920s.

nostalgic #zin harking to the time when huge fruit & port-like alcohol levels were the thing. Hot as balls in lycra at opening but did smooth out after time in #decanter. happy to have shared it with others & not have had to #drink it solo as would equaled hospital trip!

Hot burn on top of tongue. Probably better chilled to cool the heat

Great jamminess and character, a bit thinned out by alcohol, but also young (2013)
