D½h. Dark red, 5.5. Wonderfull nose dominated by ripe dark red fruits without being too sweet or too much, spicy stuff lirking behind. Dry (thanks again) harmonious palate, some serious tannin makes it fine for food. Drink now or wait for more mature notes to develop.

Udtalt boysenbær, kirsebærlikør og sprængfarlige ribs, vaniljetobak, kanelstang og spaghnum – Zinfandelic har det hele. En sikker vinder.

Frugt, rød frugt boysenbær, solbær med saft og kraft. Egetræslagring kan smages med en let vanilje smag - tanniner gode uden at forstyrre. En godt bekendskab til en hyggelig aften.

Zinfandelic har det hele, veltillavet med flot duft, farve smag og eftersmag.

Udtalt boysenbær, kirsebærlikør og sprængfarlige ribs, vaniljetobak, kanelstang og spaghnum – Zinfandelic har det hele. Den er doseret i sin alkohol, høj ja, men slet ikke brændende, den er spækket med osende frugtighed og rosenpark. I munden opfører den sig som en vildbasse, en surfer ved Malibu beach, en langhåret hippie og et suit i San Fransiscos financial district – kort sagt, den er hedonistisk, livsbekræftende og alligevel velpoleret og kontrolleret. En sikker vinder.

Fruity, jammy and juicy, with loads red and blackberries. Light oak flavours to round it off. Lots of tannins from the skin which makes it feel like you are eating the grapes. Pretty enjoyable.

A nice wine all the way through. From start to finish. Jammy. low tannins and a great finish. Prefer more spice, but this is a good wine.

Dark, dark ruby in the glass. HUGE blueberry jammy nose. Fruit-forward, low-tannin, and dry palate. Unbelievably Great pairing with grilled meats (we did pork chops). Would definitely buy again.

It has aromas of deep red fruit and some spices. The palate consists of cranberries, pomegranate. It has a nice long finish with a hint of spice. Would pair very well with red sauce pasta, and BBQ pizza.

Bright, intense color, syrupy boysenberry and blackberry fruits, very smooth tannins, and holds the tannins well. Sweet for my palate.
