An absolute monster, and while infanticide, this was singing from the cork pour and further evidence that 2014 is an excellent vintage, perhaps more classic and to my liking than 2015. Roasted coffee, game, dark fruits, some unabsorbed new oak, just a hugely aromatic nose and clearly Grand Cru. The palate was laser focused with excellent freshness, acidity, depth, and a 45 second finish. This needs 10+ year minimum, bu is drinkable now with lots of air. Great domaine, great site, stellar wine, bravo. Steal at $100.
Very early days, but I wanted something top shelf, and this was the first thing at hand. Right up front, I will say that this is most certainly grand cru. It has the depth and persistence I look for in top Burgundies, and only falls a bit short for being a bit rustic. That of course could be the extreme youth of the wine, but it's where it is right now. My favorite part of the wine is the haunting persistence on the palate. After I swallow a sip the aromas and flavors just hover over my palate like a ghost. It's captivating! I feel bad for opening a bottle of this at such a young age, but my last taste from the Maume domaine was the 1995 vintage, and I had to check in to see what was going on.

@ Restaurant Vineum in Rotterdam: The 2012 Mazoyères had more dark cherries with earthy and gamey notes, seductive on the finish with some cacao nuances ( Bt No 312|602 )

Leiden in Rotterdam at Vineum: Nose of earth, sous-bois, dark fruit. A real Mazoyeres, big wine. Fine to very fine.
