I needed a Zin.  Okay, how many times have you heard me say that?  Well, I would have went with a Bordeaux blend but didn't see any that I could trust.

If you want to talk about legs and oomph, this wine has it, and the finish [because of the alcohol] easily goes for more than two minutes in the back of your through [the alcohol that is].  The color is a purple that is not too deep and that I would say has a little brown in it, but the taste is dark cherries and maybe a little dark plum as well, however it is easily overshadowed by the alcohol.

This is one of those wines that will get better with age and I would be scared and equally happy to see what it tastes like in ten to twenty years.
