Nice ruby-tawny center with reddish amber rims. Dark and brooding, but mostly translucent. Fruit forward and attention grabbing nose. Notes of tart cherry, rhubarb, brown spice, garden soil and a little dried cranberries. While it has a little tartness in the nose, it is luscious in the mouth. And with air over the evening more fruit comes out of hiding but is always in balance against a firm structure. Don’t have much experience with the Mazis terroir myself but this was a great data point and really good tonight.
