Mazy-Chambertin

2015 "Mazy-Chambertin" Grand Cru AOC, Domaine Armand Rousseau Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2015 Mazy-Chambertin Grand Cru has a delightful bouquet that can only put a grin on your face. There is significantly more red fruit here compared to the Charmes-Chambertin, very pure with red cherries and crushed strawberry. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, lively on the entry with a little more structure and backbone than the Charmes-Chambertin, fanning out with conviction on the long, white pepper-tinged finish. This is a glorious Mazis-Chambertin that will offer between two and three decades of drinking pleasure. Decanter: Good depth of colour and an intense, lifted nose of bright raspberry fruit with a light smokiness in the background. Rich, full-bodied and weighty palate, very concentrated. A mighty Mazis without heaviness or clumsiness, refreshed by the fine acidity. Will be magical.Drinking Window 2019 - 2035.   Allen Meadows: 92-94/100 A much more sauvage-suffused nose features plenty of warm earth character on the spicy, floral and dark currant aromas. This too possesses a supple mid-palate as the slightly bigger and richer medium-bodied flavors display excellent power and punch on the relatively robust and mineral-driven and well-balanced finish. While this should be approachable young, if you wish to experience it at its peak plenty of patience will be required.
