The 2005 Mazis-Chambertin, whose label perpetuates an old spelling of the site?s name: ?Mazy? displays a surprising note of woodiness along with sweetly ripe black fruits and bitter-sweet cooked licorice suggestions. The mouth is marked by a creamy texture and lightly-cooked, caramel- and vanilla-tinged cherry compote flavors. A surprisingly austere stony, alkaline mineral character overtakes the fruit in the finish, which however offers undeniable concentration and grip. Still, the vines are over forty years old and it seems as though the site ought to be more clearly asserting an inherent class.

An earthier and much more serious nose of earth, game, truffle and spice adds plenty of aromatic nuance to the very fresh red and black berry aromas that complement perfectly the rich, supple and much sweeter big-bodied flavors that deliver a real sense of energy and volume to the driving and well muscled finish. I quite like this.
