This reserve is considerably bigger than Rue's regular ‘03 Zin, but shares the same qualities of dryness and astringent tannins. The fruit is enormous, and grows stronger mid-palate, with ripe black cherries and cocoa. Cheese, olive oil, and meaty fats will stand up well.

Fairly tannic and very dry at the moment, with a cut of acidity, this Zin may reveal more in a few years. The deeply fruity flavors of blackberry preserves are tucked down inside a blanket of astringency. Try after 2006.

Smooth, plush, classy and elegant. This wine balances upfront, racy fruit—black cherry, blackberry and plum—with sleek texture, ripe tannins and good acidity. It’s beautifully balanced. The finish is long and sleek, with anise, herb and chocolate flavors at the end.
