The 2010 Mazis-Chambertin is totally sublime. It boasts a striking inner perfume of floral dark fruit, mint, sweet herbs and honey. Silky tannins frame the dark fruit through to the enveloping, refined finish. This isn't the biggest or richest of these 2010s, but it may very well be the most elegant. Hints of white flowers add the last layers of complexity.

Good full, deep red. Wild black fruits, licorice, espresso and violet on the nose. Stubbornly closed and a bit wild but with a remarkably fine-grained texture and a deep, dense, sappy core of primary fruit. Not yet displaying its inherent complexity but finishes with palate-staining persistence. The most austere 2010 in the cellar today.

Very fine and perfumed. Fine boned and very refreshing and exciting indeed. Tannins a little marked on the very end but altogether something very interesting. Racy. (JR)
