France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru
Clearly Grand Cru fruit weight. Lifted bright red cherry bouquet. Dense with vibrant red cherries, plums and cocoa on palate. Savoury edge. Superb acid balance. Oak well integrated, tannins fine grained and melded. In its prime drinking window. 94+.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru
Also, of Grand Cru weight and volume. More in the black fruited spectrum - with some blue fruit - and earthier with more savoury tones. Some tasters saw Marmite-like Brettanomyces. I quite enjoyed the umami, meaty character of this wine. Lots of structure and grip, still some barrique to integrate. No hurry needed to drink. 93+.
