2004 Turley

Drinking at home.

2004 Turley Zinfandel Old Vines - started drinking some 40 minutes after decanting. The nose was really fragrant and fruity, with lots of jammy fruit, but also kinda alcoholic on the nose. Very sweet on the palate. Second pour was about 1 hour and 15 minutes in, and the wine was still very sweet and oaky, woodsy notes are now more obvious on the nose, but now with more acidity on the palate. The third pour was about 2 hours and 45 minutes in, and now the acidity was even higher to balance out the wine's tannins. The nose was now so fragrant with mint and eucalyptus, forest pine, and cassis. Drinking so beautifully tonight!
