I had this wine at a dinner with the 01' vintage Old Vines St. Francis Zin, the 94 Topolos Piner Heights Zin, and the 95 Topolos Pagani Ranch Zin. This one was my favorite. Still at the top of the hill, it was rich, complex, and spicey, with very well integrated tannin and fruit. This will still be good for a while and is probably a good indication of where the 2001 is heading.
