Lighter in hue/color than other Zins. Strong fruit aroma with spicy undertones (white pepper). Taste was fruit forward with a mix of white pepper finish.
Would pair well with Asian cuisine, BBQ and hard to medium cheese.

Tasted by the glass in a restaurant. A little acidic to start with, but then the Meursault taste kicks in and you get some very buttery notes, hints of honey and a very round taste. Great wine and very easy to drink, with an interesting character.

| COMMENTS: |
Deep gold, fine ripe oatmeal nose and great depth of flavour : this is a wine that has been variable in the past, and I haven't as a consequence tasted it for 10 years, which is a pity, because although it's past its best it's wonderfully mellow and sophisticated.

Absolutely undrinkable. I had hoped another year in the bottle would improve this formerly-pleasant wine, but no. I'd call it vinegar, but a glass of vinegar would have been better than this "wine."
