Unanimously the Belle of the bunch, this was dripping with complexity tonight. Deep garnet with some browning towards the rim. The nose is vinous with bruised, ripe and desiccated strawberry, dried flowers, mushrooms and loads of sous bois; savory. Good structure still. Long finish. Drink now.

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.

Wasn’t quite doing it for me. Heavy dark fruited and clumsy. Chunky tannin. Could be much better with more years.

Enchanting. Rose petal, earth and grilled sage. Laser focused on the palate. Still in its youth.

Didn’t do that much for me. Some age would likely help.

Another great bottle from the Collectors dinner. An aromatic nose with cherry, mushroom, but and smoke. Beautifully earthy with cherry and licorice notes on the palate

Holy smoking! Great wine. A couple more years would be needed!
