Should have waited (2016+) longer on this one. Beautiful ruby color, nice legs, but all tannin and short finish. The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like black currant (cassis), stoniness, black pepper and alcohol/hot. The body is medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes short. The wine has high acidity.

Compared to my previous note, this Zin is pretty brash & rough around the edges. I wasn't quite aware of how "in your face" this was until we followed up with an '11 Tofanelli Zin which is very smooth and supple in comparision.

A very nice typical Mazzocco Dry Creek Zin but a little time is needed to burn off the 16% alcohol.

Drank this out of a plastic cup at a lunch and it still was excellent.
