Tasting notes
Produced from 55 to 60-year-old vines, the dark-colored 1999 Mazis-Chambertin is profound. Its licorice, black cherry syrup, and chocolate chip cookie dough-scented nose leads to a hugely powerful, medium to full-bodied character. This road tar, blackberry, cassis liqueur, and spice-flavored wine has the density, structure, and balance for moderate to long-term aging. Projected maturity: 2006-2015+. Importer: Weygandt-Metzler, Peter Weygandt, Unionville, PA; tel. (610) 486-0800.

Saturated full ruby. Reticent, roasted aromas of blackberry and game. Juicy, very intensely flavored and folded in on itself; strong torrefaction note of bitter chocolate. Less fleshy today than the Charmes but still possesses a remarkably silky texture for such a powerful wine. Finishes very subtle and long, with building but ripe tannins.
