Zin Maturation

[winoweenie]

Hi Monty and here's my experience with aging most Zins. I've had some incredible wines that got lost in my cellar and were revelations when opened. The whole problem, without exception the exhuberence of fruit that is so dominate in Zins in general goes with aging and what you basically have is a nice drinking Claret. The trade-off is, in my opinion, definately in favor of drinking most zins by the 5th or 6th year of vintage. WW
