Tasting notes
The 2005 Mazis Chambertin signals its origins with aromas of black cherry, black raspberry, and licorice. Salted meat juices and saline, chalky mineral nuances impinge on a palate of enormous concentration of blazing, bright, ripe black fruits and, improbably, citrus. The finish displays grip without grit: “palate-staining” is too weak to describe its persistence, yet it is also persistently polished and refined. Importer: Vintus, Pleasantville, NY; tel.

Good red-ruby. Highly perfumed nose offers raspberry, redcurrant, blood orange and superb mineral lift. Vibrant and penetrating on the palate, with terrific cut and precision to the intense fruit and mineral flavors; in fact, this is uncommonly fruity for a young Mazis. Finishes with superb grip and length.
