Very restrained - almost dull - for a Petite Sirah -- which made it easy to drink alone but might not be able to stand up to a big meal.

Felt a lot more "real" than other dessert wines that I have tried -- far less sweet in a very enjoyable way.

4+ for sure, 5 for a Zin I think... goes from jam to spice - delicious.

A 3 - not as good as the 1998, but close. Very much enjoyed, however.

More of a 3.5 -- and definitely a 4 for a Zin, I think. Big fan of Battaglini in general, although it is not my favorite varietal at all.

Nicely balanced. went super with our spicy sausage pizza. Love that crafty low-rent label.

Drink this beauty now as it's ready! Won't disappoint. Visual: some heavy sediment (needs decanting); medium ruby colored core with pale ruby rim Nose: intensely perfumed and mature aromas of prune, raisin, black fig, blackberry, cassis, anise, saddle leather, pine needles, cola, beet, Red Vines, herbs, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, damp earth, pepper, clove; some meat and tar. Seriously! Palate: dry wth well integrated alcohol and tannin; fresh fruit flavors of strawberry, cherry, and pomegranate. Also baking spice and herbs, tobacco, fig and cola. Long-ish finish shows raisinated fruits like prunes reminiscent of vintage Port. Yum!

Old vine Zin takes a little while to open up- but once it did, it was lovely. Particularly enjoyed the wine with fried calamari and a hearty Tre Colore salad in the city.
