Ironstone Old Vine Zinfandel 2007

Variety: Zinfandel
Country of origin: USA
Wine appellation: California, Lodi
Vintage: 2012
Alcohol content: 14.5%
Color: medium garnet red
Bouquet: very jammy tones of cherries, coffee, cola
Taste: medium body, similar to nose red fruit jam or marmalade tones, mainly cherries, with the support of vanilla and light coffee tones,  medium to longer finish
Overall score: 4+6.5+11+6+6+50=83.5
Price: CZK 250 in 2008

Tasted recently 2012 vintage from the same producer, this I would say is on its peak of the bottle maturity. Well balanced, nothing is standing out, quite gentle and with good coffee element.
