  Beautiful wine, maybe my favorite Mazie Rose ever. Black cherry color. Gorgeous nose of black cherry, baking spice, flowers, and minerals. In the mouth, a rounded mouth feel that bursts forth with juicy black cherry fruit, buttressed by good acidity and spice notes. Long finish that smooths out and gives you the lingering impression of desire ... for another sip. A

  Couldn't resist checking on this, my favorite Holdredge bottling year to year.
  
  It's pretty intense at the moment, especially on day one where the fruit notes were very high toned, raspberry/cherry brandy (quality kirsch). The trademark silky Mazie body is dialed up to an almost excessively buttery mouthfeel. The richness was such that I didn't want more than a glass.
  
  Day two the fruit is rounder, black cherry & baking spice. Finishes leaner, with nice acid, but still typically plush and elegant.
  
  Days three and four consistent with day two.
  
  Give it a few years. 92 now, with significant upward potential.
