2001 Paraduxx

[winoweenie]

Another wine I was sure I'd posted on as this is my 3-5th bottle. Guess this proves the old saw that the memory's the 2nd thing to go. Deep ruby. No bricking. Loads of spicy, fruity, briary notes in the nose that come over on the palate.Paired with the last of the stuffed red bell peppers. Solid entry, weighty center and a 4 lapper finish. The zinfandel has calmed down and integrated with the cab to make this a very civilized drink. Still some unresolved tannins that need another 1-3 to resolve. Good stuff. 90/88 43 by the box. 14.5% alc. WW
