"This wine is stunning with deep, rich, concentrated, black fruit flavors, gobs of spicy new oak, and a style that someone will certainly say lacks subtlety . . . . If that is true, this wine clearly compensates with a blast of rich berry fruit and oak. The Mazis-Chambertin needs 2-3 years to shed its tannins and allow the wood to blend more with the black fruit character of the wine. It is rich, concentrated, and almost too much of a good thing, but for fans . . . Roty is clearly on the mark in 1988."
