Ageing...

Posted by mkuller on January 24, 2017 at 10:21:08:
...in the tasting there were a couple with a tannic or astringent finish which lost points for that and were near the bottom.

I usually age my zins about 2 to 5 years although some, especially the less expensive fruit-forward ones, will not improve much.

But the better, more complex ones like the Turleys and Carlisles will definitely improve over that time.

Ordinarily I don't drink petite syrahs and in 7 years this is first time the group has tasted them.
