Wine of the night. Sneaky Burgundian profile and weight that might have been green once upon a time. Finished long, with lingering raspberry leaf tea notes and lip smacking stoniness. — 12 years ago
As one can expect from a wine from 1928. Notes, Tea leaf, figs, etc. The color was an amazing amber. — 13 years ago
Aromas of dark cherry, cinnamon, vanilla, tobacco and tea leaf. The dark cherry continues through to the palate with orange peel and light tannins on the finish. Delicious, but a little past-peak. Drink now. — 11 years ago
Nice light Zin served at the Lorian. — 14 years ago
Gains weight over a few hours. Cherries, umeboshi, black tea, baking spices, hint of vanilla. Tremendously well made. Tough vintage. — 11 years ago
Deep and rich- notes of cassis, dark berries, wet gravel, dried black tea leaves, rose petals cigar box, On the palate surprisingly elegant, soft coating tannins and amazingly vibrant for the age. Really beautiful. — 12 years ago
Fresh citrus like Meyer lemon, melons, white tea, and orange blossoms. Dry, bright acidity, one of my favorite wine makers. — 13 years ago

2003; black red color; sweet dark fruits and tea spices; huge ripe fruit dominates the center palate: black raspberry and Kirsch, large scale but not sappy, bright acids provide perfect structure, spicy and long finish. — 11 years ago
