Velvet-like nose that screams of Zin. Cooked dark fruit of bramble berries and plums that thread into the palate. High abv. Return to this bottle in about 8 years once the tannins calm.

Patience is a good thing. Maybe lacking a little acid, but very nice structure and balance. Glad I have more!

Pretty light and thin for Storybook... Maybe just an off bottle?

Not too shabby for a Sunday. Lighter than I remembered, no pepper or spice notes.
