2001 Mazis Chambertin Cuvee B Vieilles Vignes

Saturated ruby-red. Slightly reduced aromas of cassis, smoke and game; distinct suggestions of surmaturite Compellingly sweet, lush and dense but developing at a snail's pace. A wine of great class and definition, at once refined and soil-inflected. Really spreads out to coat the palate. This has the sheer extract to support the substantial oak tannins.
