  Just perfectly ready now to enjoy in full flower, so to speak. Since two years ago, this wine no longer needs a decant. The dark red/ black color yields a magnificent nose pf Mazoyères red fruits of mid-to-dark tenor, a lot of black cherry, perfumed forest scents and some of the more rustic terroir. On the palate, a classic Chambertin dark sturdy elegance with sweet ripe dark cherry, moist wood, sous bois and a nice finish. But also the slightly foresty brawn of Mazoyèrees over arching the passage.

  Deep garnet, almost amber color. Coffee, nutmeg, and cherry liqueur on the nose. Medium-light body with medium acid and well integrated tannins. Flavors of cherries, balsamic, and dried leaves. This felt a bit one note -- it was a really good note but I was hoping for more complexity.

  Mazoyeres nailed! Every inch of the bottle a perfumed, perfectly aged, wonderfully colored grand dame— with that hint of sauvage terroir. A slightly tinged garnet with a dark hue, so perfectly ready without any decanting. A nose that just kept multipying itself, with sophisticated deep-dark cherry, hay, moist earth and perfume. The wine needed a little breathing, after which the dark central corps yielded an expanse of aromas in the Burgundy glass that spoke to everything that these wonderful Chambertin hills portend. The red, mature but not browned color brought forth perfume of raspberry, cherry and oak. The style was quite different from their more recent Charmes, which show more forward fruit and, while quite classical in style, o\are not quite as classical as this. Enjoy now.
