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.

Sep 28th, 2024Nice 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.

Dec 1st, 201817.5/20 (93/100) Ягодный аромат с нотами вишни в коньяке, спелой лесной земляники, кедра, молочного шоколада и лишь намеком на палую листву. Высокая кислотность и бархатистые, немного сухие танины. Вишнево-земляничное во вкусе. Прекрасно. (06.06.2017)
