We've had a number of Mazzocco Zins over the years, but this was the finest example we have tasted to-date. The 2014 end-date for this extraordinary wine is off by several years. This is early 2016, and I could foresee at least another 3-5 years for this bottling.
We think a 100 score is well deserved for this 2008 Kenneth Carl.

Inky in the glass, with a light nose and excellent legs. Classic zin tastes of jam and pepper with hints of cinnamon, tobacco and chocolate. No real change as it breathed and still very good but possibly this is sliding past its peak so recommending to drink now.
