Mazis Chambertin, Domaine Tortochot 2016

A relatively high-toned and ultra-fresh nose mixes notes of red cherry and raspberry with those of the sauvage and a whiff of wood toast. The succulent, round and even seductively textured medium-bodied flavors possess reasonably good depth and persistence but not the same mid-palate density. This is certainly pretty but it lacks the power and punch of a classic Mazis. Note: from .42 ha parcel in Mazis-Bas

Outstanding stony aroma on the nose – flinty, sparky, smoky. Full body and rich palate with a long and flavoursome palate that has excellent richness of fruit. Long and spicy on the finish. (RH)
