Full saturated ruby. Sappy aromas of kirsch, cassis, blueberry, wild blackberry, minerals, flowers and iron. Highly concentrated, rich wine with superb sweetness of fruit but still rather folded in on itself. Long, tannic, expanding aftertaste suggests that this wine will explode with seven or eight years of bottle aging.

Candied blackberries and cherries are found in the nose of the awesome 2000 Mazis-Chambertin. A thick, yet juicy wine, it coats the taster’s palate with jammy black cherries. Medium to full-bodied, it is bold, dense, deep, expansive, and hugely concentrated. Its considerable tannin, discernable in its prodigious finish, is perfectly ripe, almost sweet. Drink this awesome effort between 2007 and 2020. Bravo!-Pierre Rovani
