For a moment I worried that I missed the optimal drinking window. Since I hardly eat meat I tend not to open heavier reds that we have cellared. But this bottle is perfect! Muted nose but on the palette notes of plum, blackberry and leather with a tinge of barnyard in the most positive way. Velvet tannins, nice acidity. And the fruit held up. Will drink with grilled rack of lamb. 2 more bottles of Zin from Grgich in the cellar. I started with the oldest one. I guess I am a meat eater again. Can’t let a good bottle of wine go to waste!
