Inky color, aroma a little slow to find, quite tart, in the Sangiovese sense. Those who are looking for a lush Zin should keep looking. Very long, very consistent. Marvelous with veal scallopine Marsala a la John. 13.9% alcohol Bought at the winery

PS: You'll note that Rod doesn't try to push up the alcohol, though sometimes it happens (viz. '03 Stellwagen zin.)
