[This is for you, Miles! ;-)]

With a dinner of leftover BBQ and mesquite-smoked jerk chicken:

nose: mint/eucalyptus, initally some oak, pencil lead, berry fruit,
later showing black pepper and tarry notes
palate: smooth, medium-full bodied, berryish fruit, tha mint/eucalyptus
thing, low acids, tarriness developing after an hour or so

Very nice Zin that stood up well to the wood smoke of the meats. It
wasn't terribly complex, but held its own nonetheless.
