Shy on the nose even after 1 hour+ decanting, just a little peppery & sour whiff. Surprisingly light & watery for a zin - but not for any other red! On the palate a little hollow, but with lots of time you get some nice sweetness rolling around. The real treat from this wine comes on the finish: sweetness gives way to mouth coating fruity kick, but a nice sour balance. Finish for days - you'd have to scrub it out with a toothbrush!

Very good. Fruity, plush and a bit of zest as well. Not a fan of the back label narrative but the wine itself is excellent.
