This wine is spectacular. I tasted it twice, once alone with Corcia, and once in the presence of Jean Tardy of Vosne-Romanee, and both times came away utterly surprised by the fact that it was a Mazis (it taste significantly more like a Charmes- or Griotte-Chambertin), and also at how closely it mirrored the style of Claude Dugat. This black/purple-colored wine reveals massively ripe aromas of black raspberries, blackberries, and dark cherries that are followed by a sumptuous, immensely rich, full-bodied, and velvety-textured character. Its wide, awesomely chewy, and concentrated flavor profile is densely packed with candied red fruits and hints of sweet new oak that coat the palate for minutes. While its power and intensity are truly outstanding in their own right, what makes this wine even more special (and Claude Dugat-like), is its awesome purity, precision, harmony, and elegance as well as its virtually perfect and supple tannins.
